Ingeborg Starck (Von Bronsart) 1840-1913

I have a Finnish Radio broadcast of the Fantasia op. 18 which I will upload shortly. The announcer says it is in G sharp minor.
To which folder shall I put her to rest? 

[Mark Thomas]

Swedish, I guess, Mathias.

Born in Russia of Swedish parents, died in Germany. Wikipedia-en and, I think, other sources also have her as Swedish or Swedish-German, so Swedish might be right, I'd agree too fwiw.

HMB, though not always right on these things, agrees about the GisM[oll]/G# minor bit. The Op.18 phantaisie was published in 1884 by Breitkopf.

Since there has been a hint that the Bronsart Piano Concerto might make an appearance on Hyperion RPC, what's the status of the Ingeborg Bronsart's Piano Concerto - is it lost forever

[Gareth Vaughan]

Certainly I have been unable to locate it so far.

I fear so.  It is interesting that she wrote her piano concerto before her husband wrote his.  Concertos seem to be more vulnerable to loss, as the performers had to transport all the parts about with them and transport was a little primitive until the 1880's.

[Mark Thomas]

That's an interesting and very pertinent point, Giles.
