Virtuoso pianist Isabette Grüber captivates audiences in the salons and concert halls of early
nineteenth-century Vienna. Yet in a profession dominated by men, Isabette longs to compose and
play her own music—a secret she keeps from both her lascivious manager and her resentful
mother. She meets and loves Amelia Mason, a dazzling American singer with her own secrets, and
Josef Hauser, an ambitious young composer. But even they cannot fully comprehend the depths of
Isabette’s talent.
Her ambitions come with a price when Isabette embarks on a journey that delicately walks the line
between duty and passion. Amid heartbreak and sacrifice, music remains her one constant. With
cameos from classical music figures such as Chopin, Schubert, and Berlioz, A Woman of Note is an
intricately crafted and fascinating tale about one woman’s struggle to find her soul’s song in a
dissonant world.
