Ika Peyron: Nocturne, Op.10

Albertina Fredrika "Ika" Peyron, née Asp (1 July 1845 in Timrå, Västernorrland - 15 March 1922 in Stockholm) was a Swedish composer, pianist and organist. She wrote songs as well as compositions for violin, piano and solo songs. Her collected works consists of about 40 compositions.
Ika Peyron was the foster child of the merchant Anton Asp, who wished for her to have a profession and gave her a good education. Asp wished for her to become a medical doctor, but she was early on focused on music. She was educated as a pianist in Stockholm and a student of Louise Engström, Ivar Hallström, Johan van Boom, Emil Sjögren and Anton Andersen. She attempted to compose but gave up because of the poor attitude toward female composers. In 1865 she married the merchant and politician Ludvig Peyron, and devoted the next decade to raising her sons. In the late 1870s, her sons were no longer small, and the attitude toward female composers had changed. Ika Peyron devoted herself completely to composition from the 1880s, when she tutored as well as directed and performed concerts at the chapels of the theatres and at the Ladies' Society Nya Idun.

I can’t help but to think that this is Chopin’s prelude in B minor sometimes, pretty similar in some passages

[@michaelclements5793]

The base melody with repeated chords over it. I hear exactly what you mean.

[@wtfworld-322]

Similar but beautiful, i like thise piece

[@albertomarques8072]

There's nothing similar to Chopin's prelude op.28 no.6.

[@kittie5678]

Дааа, тоже так показалось

[@kittie5678]

Фактура изложения и тональность очень схожи

[@luizf.composer]

Absolutely beautiful. Full of interesting mood changes that give the piece a journey-like storyline. Very nice to see female composers appreciated.

[@Ramiarcat]

Wow!!!! Bellissimo commovente!!! Un capolavoro di questa compositore e sempre bello scoprire queste gioie nascoste ❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-wt9pv6yg1p]

Невероятно красиво, нежно, романтично, спасибо за исполнение ❤️💐👏

[@michaelclements5793]

A grand piece. What a journey from beginning to end. I'd almost be tempted to call it more of a ballade, but I'll not challenge the composer's moniker, which suits it well enough.
Like any story, I found myself listening eagerly for the next part, the next chapter, wondering where it's going, and how it will end, and I was not disappointed.
Splendid piece, and well done!

More of an impromptu..maybe?

I loved it, thank you.

At 4:18 I hear a phrase out of "O, Holy Night" Christmas Carol. Curious. I presume she mean't that.

[@deolindapinhogarciabertolo707]

Linda peça!! Bravo!👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@sonicboom6893]

please, more female composers 🙏 they don’t get much recognition and this is amazing.

[@anonyne5818]

Awesome! It could have been a wonderful opera aria with some orchestration and a bass/baryton soloist singer for the lead part (with some rearrangement) 🤌👌
Thank you for the transcriptions and the discoveries 😁

[@brettowen7174]

Was she left handed?

[@user-ep1fl5uu9n]

Удивительно похож на прелюдию си минор Ф.Шопена 😂

[@talastra]

Too bad her name wasn't eva. Or that she was from Buenos Aires.
