Classic masterpieces recommended for women

We’ve put together a selection of classic masterpieces especially recommended for women.

Looking back, classical musicians in the past—both composers and performers—were almost all men.

In recent years, however, the number of female conductors and performers has grown significantly.

Watching performances on TV or video sites, you can see that many women are now thriving in the field.

There are also many pieces written for or associated with women, such as The Maiden’s Prayer by the rare female composer in classical music, Tekla Bądarzewska, and Elgar’s Salut d’Amour, dedicated to his beloved wife.

Think of this as a beginner’s guide to classical music.

We’ve included many familiar pieces, so why not take this opportunity to make classical music your hobby?
