Bio
Louise Farrenc (1804–1875) was a French composer, pianist, and teacher whose career spanned the Romantic era. Born Jeanne-Louise Dumont in Paris, she studied piano with Ignaz Moscheles and composition with Anton Reicha, later marrying flautist Aristide Farrenc. Her output includes three symphonies, chamber music, and numerous piano works, many of which were published by her husband’s firm.
