Johanna is a lyrical new addition to the repertoire for alto flute and piano by arranger and flutist Roz Trubger. It draws together seven Lieder by Johanna Kinkel - a remarkable female composer from Bonn and a key figure among 19th-century women composers. This piece echoes the emotional depth of her exciting but hard working and ultimately tragic life.
With flowing melodies and rich harmonic textures, Johanna offers performers a poetic and thought provoking concert work. Now available in both PDF and printed editions, the music invites today’s flutists and pianists to explore a historical musical voice. Published in 2025, it’s ideal for recitals focused on lyrical expression, forgotten female voices, and the Romantic tradition.
SAMPLE:
The seven song titles are:
Lied aus dem Spessarttraum (op.21 no.1)
Abschied (op.19 no.5)
Provencalisches Lied (op.21.no.4)
Die Zigeuner (op7 no.6)
Turm und Flut (op.19 no.6)
Nachtlied (op.7 no.1)
Johanna Kinkel (also Mathieux, Mockel) made her mark in the worlds of both music and literature and her life makes a fascinating story. Born in Bonn, her childhood music studies were with Beethoven’s teacher. As an adult, she was a friend of Fanny Mendelssohn and Karl Marx. She got caught up in the revolutionary events of 1849 and emigrated to London after helping her husband escape from Spandau prison. Her short life ended tragically when she fell from her bedroom window near Paddington station.
