      @@alexduran5704 Wagner was a diehard antisemite, not necessarily considering himself a Nazi (the Nazi party was created after his death and so was Adolf Hitler) but an antisemite instead. However, he also held other disgusting views such as supporting incest and probably racism too.

    You did a quick appreciation of Mademoiselle. Yet it substance.
    I studied 3 times per week in 1973. An American, at 19. It nearly killed me trying to prepare for exercise of 4 or 6 clefs. Yet., my compositions were always received with warmth and enthusiasm one did not expect.
    Mem was 87 at the time-- vibrant like few can imagine.
    Thank you for youthful charismatic introduction!

    Nadia Boulanger is mentioned many times on WMNR and WSHU radio stations in Connecticut, and it is good to see photos and film clips of her teaching piano and harmony. Her response to being "asked in 1938 how it felt to be the first female conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra," i.e., "I've been a woman for a little more than 50 years, and I've gotten over my original astonishment," was encouraging.

      @@ClassicalNerd Piazzolla was his student too, and it´s actually the first place where I was able to know about her. I even remember on some of his biographies that she made him confident about his folkloric/nationalist and academic symbiotic approach to his music. Her legacy continues and has marked latin american culture, through him.

    ...She didn't teach Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Stravinsky (was a friend and admirer but not his teacher) nor Bartók, Ravel, Poulenc, Barber, De Falla, Kodály, Enescu, Khachaturian, Messiaen, Hindemith, Rachmaninov. She was an eminent teacher of harmony, counterpoint, composition etc, in France, but except few names, her long lists of students did not blossom into well known composers in the XX Century. I have not hard feelings toward her at all, bu the reality is that the none of the composers mentioned , who actually were the most influential ones of the XX Century, are a product of her teaching.

      I think it's obvious which generation of composers he is talking about. Most of the composers you've mentioned were older or at her age. Not the same generation as boulanger's students. So i think your doing an invalid and illogical comparison.
