Marianna Martines (1744-1812) was one of eighteenth-century Vienna's most prominent composers. She received more acclaim than perhaps any other female composer of her time. Martines was a renowned singer as well as harpsichord player and composer. Empress Maria Theresa, the biggest musical patron in Vienna, was immensely taken with the young composer. At a time when most male composers either worked for the church or a royal court, Martines was able to accomplish incredible things without formal employment.

He helped shape classical music's structure and style. Colorful illustrations plus photographs of meaningful sites and settings connect listeners to important points in Schubert's history.
