+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Maria Szymanowska (14 December 1789 –25 July 1831) was a Polish piano virtuoso and composer.
Placing the Blame
She was one of the first professional piano virtuosos in 19th-century Europe and one of the first pianists to perform memorized repertoire in public, a decade ahead of Franz Liszt and Clara Schumann.-- Wikipedia
Maria Szymanowska
Didn't use a score,
A kind of feat that pianists
Had rarely tried before.
Liszt and Clara Schumann
Joined her in this shtick,
And every virtuoso since
Has had to learn this trick.
