As a woman
composer she found less
recognition in the
Netherlands, except from
colleagues and friends.
Cellist Marix Loevensohn
frequently performed her
Poème for cello and
orchestra, while Louis
Zimmermann, concertmaster
of the Concertgebouw
Orchestra, premiered the
Concert Piece for Violin
and Orchestra in 1935,
conducted by Willem
Mengelberg. Her
international
breakthrough began in
1938, when violinist
Willem Noske played this
work, full of 'Oriental
moods,' in Prague and
Paris. In October 1941 it
was also performed
several times in the
United States with Ruth
Posselt as violinist.
However, the prospect of
further international
engagements became
blocked by the war.
