Although today little more than a footnote in the history of late Romantic music, Amanda Maier (1853-94) was a profoundly gifted musician whose early death (probably from tuberculosis) robbed the world of a burgeoning creative talent. Born in Sweden and starting out as a violinist-composer, she stopped performing publicly following her marriage to composer Julius Röntgen in 1880.
