Louise Farrenc's contributions to the keyboard repertoire are a cornerstone of her creative identity. The Air russe varie stands out as one of her most enduring masterpieces, acclaimed by Robert Schumann for it's rigorous counterpoint and refined musicality. The brilliant Souvenir des Huguenots draws it's themes directly from Meyerbeer's hit opera, while the Grandes Variations sur un Theme du Comte Gallenberg is a monumental testament to Farrenc's mastery of the variation form. This is the sixth and final volume in Maria Stratigou's acclaimed survey of Farrenc's complete works for piano.
