Emilie Luise Frederica Mayer was a German Romantic composer who became one of the most prolific female composers of the 19th century. Often called the “Female Beethoven,” Mayer composed eight symphonies and numerous chamber works, piano sonatas, and orchestral overtures. Despite the limited opportunities for women in professional music during her time, she achieved wide recognition and public performance of her music across Germany. —Wikipedia
