Description
Even though Amy was born, bred and educated in New England, she believed more in a ‘universal style freely drawing on the musical tradition of all European countries.’ She explored virtually all forms of composition, from the largest (Mass), symphony, piano concerto, oratorio) through chamber music (piano quintet, trio, opera) to art-songs, character-pieces for violin and numerous works for piano. .. She was the first American woman to compose a symphony and the first performed by major orchestras” (Gramophone)
