Notes:
Clara Algar’s love of music was such that she named two of her sons Haydn and Beethoven (who went on to become an All Black). She learnt the piano in New Plymouth and shifted to Wellington with her husband. Her personal life was difficult, with an acrimonious divorce and persistent alcohol abuse issues. Despite this she published two pieces and also had several poems published.
