Hélène de Montgeroult (1764-1836) France

Composer and pianist. Respect for her compositions allowed her to survive the French Reign of Terror (1793-1794), as a series of improvisations based on La Marseillaise, performed for the Committee of Public Safety, earned her her freedom after being imprisoned during the Revolution due to her aristocratic origins.

Here is her Study No. 111, the link to download the score is along with the last video of this publication.
