Inside the Classics presents Amy Beach, a pioneering figure in American classical music. Born in 1867, Beach became the first successful American woman to compose large-scale art music and to have a symphony published. Her Gaelic Symphony (Op. 32) marked a milestone in American music history. Beach’s catalogue spans solo piano works, chamber pieces, vocal music, and orchestral compositions. She toured Europe and the United States extensively, shaping a path for women composers on both sides of the Atlantic.
