Boccherini String Quintet in E Major, Op. 13, No. 5, Minuetto

An abused woman is the greatest composer who ever lived. A unique and deeply emotional memoir by a woman named Carmen Angelina Coletti, a prodigy who was taken out of school when she was twelve years old and isolated from the world. Her simple, honest voice is the picture of a young and reclusive country wife. Abused since early childhood, her music is her refuge, with a gift for composition so complete that she is likely the world s first female great composer, some believing her to be the most gifted composer of all time. If the years with her mother and husband are all considered, Carmen Coletti was isolated in the country and abused for 20 years.
