Regards de femmes Marie Catherine Girod

Was the golden age of the piano that of a defeat for female composers? If they occupied an

important place in ancient and baroque music, the bourgeois society which emerges from the

Enlightenment limits their access to the conservatory and to the quarry. Marie-Catherine Girod

explores this key moment, and reveals to us the talent of the resistance fighters of the classical and

romantic periods, and of the first modernism, those whose history has retained the name, such as

Fanny Mendelssohn or Clara Schumann, or of whom she is rediscovering it today.
