Felicia Tuczek
Felicia Johanna Tuczek (September 1849 – 7 January 1905)[1] was a composer[2] and pianist[3] who is best remembered today for her String Quartet in f minor.[4] Her birthplace is variously given as Bohemia, [5] Berlin,[1] or Vienna;[6] as an adult, she lived in Germany.[7]
Tuczek was born into a musical family. Her grandfather was composer and educator Franz Tuczek (1782 – 1850). Her aunt was the singer Leopoldine Tuczek. Her sister, Clara, also a singer, married composer and conductor Max Bruch.
Felicia Tuczek studied with Clara Schumann, then worked as a concert pianist, composer, and piano teacher. One of her piano students was the German paper manufacturer and cultural benefactor Maria Zanders.[8] Her string quartet[9] was published by Steingraeber Verlag in 1904[10] and premiered in Berlin.[11]
