Myriam Barbaux-Cohen:
Mélanie Bonis studied accompaniment, harmony, and composition at the Paris Conservatoire, where she shared the benches with Claude Debussy and received tuition from César Franck. She wrote more than 300 works, including many piano pieces, but was too modest for self-promotion, and even her admirers at the time could not overlook her gender.
