Präludium Op. 12 No, 7

Luise Adolpha Le Beau (1850 - 1927) was a German composer and pianist. She received her early musical education from her father, who also taught her geography, geometry and history, which was reserved for boys in schools. Her “Memoirs of a Composer” from 1910 are well worth reading https://www.musicologie.org/Biographies/l/m/1909261759.pdf
Le Beau was a very talented, self-confident, intelligent woman who throughout her life met the musical personalities in the German-speaking world who inspired, influenced or teached her: Franz Lachner, Anton Rubinstein, Hans von Bülow, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and many others. Remarkable is her interaction with Clara Schumann, whose feelings of rivalry towards Le Beau overshadowed her piano lessons. She was a private student of Josef Gabriel Rheinberger in Munich - the Royal Bavarian Music School was reserved for men only. Her interest in composers such as Wagner, Schumann and Chopin as well as her “Private music course for music and theory for daughters of the educated classes” and the intrigues of Mrs. Rheinberger led to a break with Rheinberger. In addition to her pianistic activities, her extensive oeuvre includes compositions of song and piano music and, in later years, works for larger ensembles.
She dedicated her 8 Preludes Op. 12 for piano to her cousin from Vienna, partly composed while traveling in Mediterranean countries. In the last decades of her life, she often enjoyed traveling to Italy. It was here that she met the singer Alfredo de Giorgio, a passionate supporter and interpreter of her music...
I enjoyed playing the short Prelude Op. 12 No. 7, a simple melody in verse and song form, on the small but beautiful Mascioni organ in Azzio.
