A week ago I attended a recital by Judith Radell (Indiana University
of Pennsylvania it says in the announcement. I suppose that you
could write to her if you want info) who played works
by various women composers, most of whom I'd never heard of.
One contemporary of Mozart, the more talented sister of
Felix Mendelssohn, Cecile Chaminade (the only one I knew,
thus the only one I remember), and a few contemporary
composers. Most of it was pretty nice. If anyone is
interested I can dig up the program.

Victor.
