Preface

When some years ago I first heard a series of works by women composers of the Romantic period, I made up my mind to stage at least one concert per year exclusively featuring music composed by women composers within the framework of my “Orchesterprojekt”. Several of the pieces were also – hardly surprisingly – Austrian premieres.
Having come across the song collection “Von Goethe inspiriert” published by Furore Verlag, edited by Ann Willison Lemke (fue 6300), in the course of my research, I soon found myself wanting to have several songs accompanied by chamber orchestra. The compositional quality of the songs and the tonal richness of the piano accompaniment allowed a diversity of instrumentation – without interference with the compositions themselves – that was perfectly suited to each song and its lyrics.
