The article attempted to look into the work of several notable female composers who composed songs in Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Vienna between 1750 and 1830. It tried to focus on a period whose detailed mapping has not yet received as much attention as the following stage of the 19th century. Against the background of observing stylistic changes and the formation of stylistic trends and song schools, it wanted to draw attention to the songs of Juliane Bernhardine Benda-Reichardt, Louise Reichardt, Emilie Zumsteeg and, to a lesser extent, the Viennese composer Marie Theresia Paradis. The aim was not to provide a detailed analysis of selected songs by these authors, but rather to attempt to provide a general overview of their compositions in broader stylistic contexts and to enable a comparison of these artistic personalities, who are linked not only by a roughly defined period and provenance, but also by a similar musically rich background.
