Notes:
Margrethe Frederikke Sophie Løvenskiold was a Danish composer. She was born in Norway but grew up with her aristocratic relatives at a country house in Denmark. In 1812 she married her second cousin and moved to Norway. The musical life in Norway was characterized by wind orchestras, and Frederikke started to compose music for them. When she moved back to Copenhagen, she continued to compose, and during the 1860s her music was performed at the amusement park Tivoli. Frederikke was established as a composer, and her music was known in all of Denmark.
