It's really funny to hear the Christmas song "Ihr Kinderlein kommet" so clearly in the third movement. But then again, it seems to have been a composition written for Christmas, at least "Weihnachten" was written on the front page of the score... :-)
The influence of Brahms (and why not Clara Schumann?) is clear in this reassuring piece. Ah, the last fingertips of Romanticism..., those were the days.
Didn't her husband compose several musics??? Not just one??? The word 'music' is not countable, for god's sake! In such cases, you write, 'as gooad as her husband's'.
@@eckhardtkiwitt8602 Have you ever heard more than one piece by Julius Röntgen?? What makes you think Amanda's music is much better? What measure did you use: seconds, meters, litres, perhaps decibels? Since when is music a competition? Wasn't that a thing only for Liszt, Thalberg and Tausig?
Is this her only piano quartet? I am scheduled to perform a C minor piano quartet (?) by her in April but I haven’t found any scores or information on a C minor quartet...
Unless a new one has been discovered, this would appear to be her only one. It is, however, very definitely her last completed work. Are you sure the C minor quartet isn't by her husband?
@@johannrufinatscha4210 Thanks so much for the quick response! It can’t be her husband’s work, as the theme for the concert is works by female composers. I am sure the organization meant to say E minor piano quartet and just made a mistake!
You don't have the rights for this recording. Please remove it immadiately. For those who are interested in the music of Amanda Maier you will find here complete works as downloads or streams at iTunes, Spotify, Naxos Music Library and so on. Physical CD is of course also available on for example Amazon. Best wishes, Erik Nilsson, producer/dB Productions (copyright holder).
I am grateful for this opportunity to be exposed to Amanda Rontgen-Maier's work. I cannot afford a $20/mo subscription to Naxos or Spotify (which renders more ad-time for me than music-study time, and as a single mom, that time ends up a deal-breaker. I no longer listen to Spotify with ads). I recognize the incredible expense it takes to make a recording. I do bring kids, more than just my own, to local orchestra concerts as often as I can to help support via ticket sales. Is there a truly affordable way to get unfamiliar music like this out to people? The OP isn't making any money. Recording companies are. Tons. Is tearing down these non-monetized ventures truly a solution to ensuring artists (and their support-systems) paid?
@@JanisFroehlig If you go to the store to buy food, you pay for it. If you go to the dentist to get your teeth fixed, you pay for it. If you go to the cinema to watch a movie, you pay for it. Why should recorded music be free? Isn't the blood, sweat and tears of small independant labels like dB Productions worth paying for, making it possible for us to continue our work and presenting unknown composers like Amanda Maier to the world? Yes there are record companies that make a lot of money - in commercial pop genres. But not in the classical world. Me and my independant colleagues already work more than full-time for a half-time salary or less because it's our passion and call in life. But even the big classical labels have a difficult time today. Isn't the least one could ask that the result of our hard work is not given away for free? It's not actually a matter of money, it's the principal that you should appreciate other people's work by being willing to pay for it. Everything is a question about priority. If music is really important to you, then pay the $20/mo subscription and spend less money on other things in life. Finally it's ridicuously little money compared to what you get access to.
I am going to go buy the recording. I am grateful to this RUclips channel for bringing it to my attention, and to the artists and recording company for producing it.

Prefiero el Barroco en la música.Pero es una gran compositora .Y no la conocía.Muchas gracias
Her music is as good as her husband's one. Unfortunately she is even more underrated.
"As good as her husband's one ..."
Or even much better !

@@evrenozelpiano the best way to find out is to get the score and look at the key signature.
