Accounts of the time record that she was an excellent instructor with many of her students graduating with Premier Prix and becoming professional musicians. Despite this, Farrenc was paid less than her male counterparts for nearly a decade. Only after the triumphant premiere of her nonet, at which the famous violinist Joseph Joachim took part, did she demand and receive equal pay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b21dcd579fb3b20168070c/1516821645124-UY4DJ7PROOR8M4FI1TB8/WWS_PetalBanner.gif Farrenc https://www.womenwhoscore.org/schumann daily 0.75 2018-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b21dcd579fb3b20168070c/1517262487471-QCCYPFOY5J29F2L4HSIJ/Clara_Schumann_pink.png Schumann - Clara Schumann ONE OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED PIANISTS AND COMPOSERS OF THE ROMANTIC ERA In an era when women, apart from singers, almost never performed in public or composed, Clara Schumann did both. She distinguished herself as the foremost interpreter of her husband Robert’s work, but she was also a primary force in reintroducing eighteenth-century keyboard music to the public. Unfortunately, her own compositions remained unknown until the second half of the twentieth century. Many are still unpublished and owned by private collectors, so we still cannot appreciate the full extent of her compositional achievements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b21dcd579fb3b20168070c/1516821645124-UY4DJ7PROOR8M4FI1TB8/WWS_PetalBanner.gif Schumann https://www.womenwhoscore.org/parker daily 0.75 2018-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b21dcd579fb3b20168070c/1517270851327-EHT0ZADBV9NV0LWIQV18/D_Parker.jpg Parker - Dennis Parker CELLO Dennis Parker was born in New York City and began his cello studies at the age of six. He received his early training with Channing Robbins of the Juilliard School, and later earned degrees from Indiana University and Yale University, where he worked with Janos Starker and Aldo Parisot, respectively. Inspired by a variety of musical activity, Parker performs frequently as a soloist, recitalist, collaborator, and guest professor at universities and festivals throughout the U.S. He is actively involved in the expansion of the existing cello repertoire and has transcribed many works for his instrument. A Haymon Professor of Music, Parker has taught Cello and String Chamber Music at the Louisiana State University School of Music since 1988. Prior to his tenure at LSU, Parker served as Principal Cellist of the Porto Alegre Symphony Orchestra in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and was a member of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. A committed pedagogue, Parker released a DVD and instructional manual, the “Popper Manifesto” in 2002. This project remains the first and only complete recorded performance of David Popper’s “High School of Cello Playing.” Parker’s CDs with the Centaur label include Cello Matters, which features music for cello and piano by Liduino Pitombeira, Daniel Schnyder, David Baker, and Astor Piazzolla, and Uplifting Discoveries from a Generation Lost, a recording of chamber music by composers who perished in the Holocaust (Erwin Schulhoff, Gideon Klein, Viktor Ullmann and Hans Krasa).Homage to Fiddlers, a recording of Russian composer/pianist Ivan Sokolov’s Sonata for Cello and Piano, Piano Trio, and Duos for Cello and Violin by Viktor Kalabis and Jan Vicar, with violinist Karen Bentley Pollick, was released in 2010 by Ariel Ventures. A few years ago, Parker was a recipient of an ATLAS grant (Awards To Louisiana Artists and Scholars) from the Louisiana Board of Regents. Through its generous support, he completed three independent recording projects. Parker’s transcriptions of Mozart's “Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major” K219, and “Sinfonia Concertante in Eb for Violin and Viola” K364 is the first recording of these works adapted as Cello Concerti. Concurrent with the CD’s release is the publication of editions of Parker’s transcriptions. The second CD featured the entire cello output of distinguished Brazilian composer, Walter BurleMarx. Parker gave the world premiere of his Cello Concerto in 2006 in Brasilia with the Brazilian National Orchestra, its U.S. premiere in 2009 with the L.S.U. Symphony, and in January 2013 the work was premiered in Turkey with the Istanbul State Orchestra. The third CD, Stolen Sonatas showcases three more of Mr. Parker’s transcriptions with pianist, Jennifer Hayghe: Debussy’s Sonata for Violin, Poulenc’s Sonata for Flute, and Enesco’s Sonata No.3 for Violin and Piano. Parker maintains an active touring and performing schedule. The past few seasons have taken him from New York’s Weill Hall, to Brazil, China, Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Czech Republic, Spain, Hungary, and many universities across the U.S..
