Teresa Carreño (1853 — 1917) was a celebrated Venezuelan pianist and composer who was a musician of great power and spirit, known to her public as the “Valkyrie of the piano”! She was given her first piano lessons by her father, Manuel Antonio Carreño, a politician and talented amateur pianist. Exiled for political reasons, the family settled in New York in 1862. She next spent four years in Paris as a pupil of Georges Mathias and Anton Rubinstein, after which she embarked upon a long and highly successful concert career.
At various times she composed works for the piano as well as a string quartet and the Petite Danse Tsigane for orchestra. She developed a mezzo-soprano voice of sufficient calibre to enable her to appear as an opera singer; and, with the second of her four husbands, Giovanni Tagliapietra, a baritone, organized and directed an opera company in Caracas.

Venezuelan Treasures for Piano Volume 4 Teresa Carreño’s are delightful, fresh, and superior so-called salon pieces. They present many technically interesting challenges, but are also supremely rewarding thanks to the quality of their composition, which includes gorgeous melodies, intelligent command of the use of harmonies and the sunny happiness of rhythms from her native Venezuela.
