Description: Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky - composer who remain unforgettable. But what of the female musician with women? When composing a male domain? The program notes of large concert halls could convey that impression, because only rarely to the music of composers to a wider audience will be presented, possibly in smaller groups in private salons. The biography presented here is dedicated to a 'forgotten' composer. She was a pupil Anton Bruckner, a classmate of Gustav Mahler at the Vienna Conservatory and a personal friend of Franz Liszt. Mathilde Kralik of Meyrswalden dedicated her life completely to music. She was a composer, pianist, author, text, event organizer and singer at the same time. Her compositional work includes three operas, more than 100 songs with instrumental accompaniment, as well as many pieces of chamber music, melodrama, masses and cantatas. She was in many music-oriented women's organizations active in private life she turned to a woman with whom she was about 30 years in a love relationship. Mathilde Kralik century was one of the best known personalities Her works have been played in public and she received good reviews. Around the year 1910, on the eve of World War I, the music of late Romanticism of the early atonal music was slowly replaced. It was quiet for Mathilde, their music did not fit more clearly into time. Modern music like the Arnold Schoenberg on the other hand more and more attracted attention.
