Teresa Milanollo
Teresa Milanollo (born August 28, 1827 in Savigliano , † October 25, 1904 in Paris ) was an Italian violinist and composer.
Life
After her first lessons in Savigliano and Turin , she received further musical training in Paris and Brussels . The first concerts took place in Italy in the mid-1830s, then in France from 1836 and increasingly in other Western European countries. Together with her younger sister Maria , who from 1840 regularly appeared on stage alongside Teresa Milanollo, she gave concerts as a child and was celebrated as a child prodigy in the 1840s. After Maria died of tuberculosis in 1848, Teresa continued her career under her father's management and was still famous as a violinist as an adult. Numerous appearances at charity events strengthened the image of the meek and benevolent woman she embodied. Towards the middle of the century, her popularity waned and she retired into private life after her marriage.
The Milanollo sisters left their literary traces in Adalbert Stifter's story Zwei Schwestern (1850) and Theodor Fontane's novel Frau Jenny Treibel (1892). Teresa Milanollo's compositions, however, have largely been forgotten.
