Biography
Amanda Maier was born into a musical home in Landskrona and discovered her musical talent early. Her first instruction in violin and piano was from her father. At the age of sixteen, Maier began studying at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, where she studied violin, organ, piano, cello, composition and harmony. Maier performed violin concerts in both Sweden and abroad. She continued to study composition with the conservatory teachers Reinecke and Richter in Leipzig and violin from Engelbert Röntgen, concert master at Gewandhaus Orchestra in the same city. During this time she composed a violin sonata, a piano trio and a violin concerto for orchestra. Her violin concerto was premiered in 1875 with Maier as soloist and received good reviews. In Leipzig she met the German-Dutch pianist and composer Julius Röntgen (1855-1932), her violin teacher's son. The couple married in 1880 in Landskrona and moved to Amsterdam. The marriage ended Amanda's public appearances, but she continued composing, and the couple arranged musical salons and music performances in Europe of Rubinstein, Joachim and Brahms. In 1887 Röntgen-Maier became ill with tuberculosis. During her illness, the couple stayed in Nice and Davos. Her final major composition was the piano quartet in E minor, composed on a trip to Norway in 1891. She died in 1894 in Amsterdam.

Amanda Maier & Emilie Mayer
I met both here in youtube
I didn't know about them before
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.
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 !
Prefiero el Barroco en la música.Pero es una gran compositora .Y no la conocía.Muchas gracias
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!
@@evrenozelpiano the best way to find out is to get the score and look at the key signature.
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 TH-cam channel for bringing it to my attention, and to the artists and recording company for producing it.
