Marie Jaell

**Marie Jaëll** (1846–1925) was a trailblazing French composer, pianist, and educator whose innovative spirit left a lasting mark on classical music. A student of legends like César Franck and Franz Liszt, she dazzled audiences as a virtuoso performer while carving out her own voice as a composer. Her piano works—think dramatic sonatas, poetic miniatures, and rich harmonies—blend Romantic flair with bold experimentation, earning her a spot among the era’s forward-thinking creators. Beyond composing, Jaëll revolutionized piano pedagogy, diving into the psychology of touch and movement to develop teaching methods still studied today. Recent releases of her *Complete Works for Piano* and chamber pieces like the *Cello Sonata* are reintroducing her music to modern listeners, proving her legacy is anything but forgotten. Fun fact: She even collaborated with scientist friends to explore the connection between music and the senses—a true Renaissance woman of her time!
