In the eighteenth century, Vienna was the hub of the European music scene, dominated by such well-known names as Mozart and Haydn.
But alongside them was a less heard of composer. Marianne Martinez was born in Vienna in 1744 where her musical talents were encouraged and she went on to be a respected composer, and to run an influential musical salon.
For the first in a new Woman's Hour series on women composers, Henrietta Otley speaks to the performer Diana Ambache and to the musicologist, Sophie Fuller.
