Cadenzas for W.A. Mozart’s Concerto in D minor
A new documentary about women composers, focusing on Maria Anna Mozart (otherwise known as Nannerl, Wolfgang’s older sister), is premiering at international film festivals this summer. Mozart’s Sister will also be broadcast on PBS in the U.S. and on other international channels this autumn.
Filmmaker Madeleine Hetherton-Miau with Media Stockade has made an amazing film which I hope you’ll all see eventually. You can watch the trailer here. I’m in it! My voice is the very first sentence, and I also have a little cameo part way through.
Madeleine found me on X-Twitter, of course. In addition to Clara, she wanted me to divulge the resistance I’ve experienced in my promotion of women composers online, what it looks like, and why they do it.
[The day Madeleine messaged me was that wild day last summer on X-Twitter when haters made me memes— trying and failing to make fun of Clara. They were upset that I tweeted Franz Liszt dedicated the first edition of his Paganini Etudes to 18-year-old Clara Wieck. Hard evidence that, yes, haters feel most threatened by the TRUTH.]
As soon as Madeleine put the name Mozart and Clara in the same sentence, I thought of Clara’s cadenzas for Wolfgang’s D mino

Women composers continue to feature on the North East’s musical scene this spring, with works by Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn appearing in a programme announced last week by the Sage, Gateshead.
Royal Northern Sinfonia’s (RNS) principal conductor Dinis Sousa and leader Maria Włoszczowska will celebrate the talents and connections of the famous musical families, the Schumanns and Mendelssohns, at a concert on 3 June.
As well as three violin sonatas by their respective kinsmen, Robert and Felix, the programme will feature a selection of songs by the two women who, as the Sage says, were both talented composers in their own right but are often overlooked by history.
News of the event comes hot on the heels of the announcement of a concert at the King’s Hall, Newcastle University, in March, featuring the 18th century English composer Elizabeth Turner, among others, reported here on 31 January.
Exploring the connections between the Schumanns and Mendelssohns leads one to the city of Leipzig, in former East Germany, which has long been one of the country’s most important musical centres. It has a proud cultural tradition, dating particularly from the 18th and 19th centuries.
