In 1851, the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer sounds off in his essay »on women« that they do not really and truly have sense and sensitivity, »neither for music, nor poetry, nor fine arts«. In such surroundings, Emilie Mayer must have seemed like a provocation: the young woman from small-town Mecklenburg led a glorious life as a composer in Berlin, performed one symphony after the other, became the deputy head of the Berlin Opera Academy and an honorary member of the Philharmonic Society in Munich. It’s high time to rediscover her and her music!
