Ella Adaïewsky
Born: 22nd February 1846, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Died: 26th July 1926, Bonn, Germany
Nationality: Russian
Ella von Schultz-Adaïewsky; (Ella Georgiyevna Adayevskaya) Russian: Элла (Елизавета) Георгиевна Адаевская; 22 February 1846 [O.S. 10 February] – 26 July 1926) was a Russian-German composer, pianist, and ethnomusicologist. Note: "Adayevskaya" is an incorrect appellation. Adaïewsky purposely selected a Russian male pseudonym to hide her identity as a female Protestant composer of German descent in Imperial Russia. She explained that she derived the first letters of her artist name (A-D-A) from the opening motif of the overture to Mikhail Glinka's opera Ruslan and Lyudmila.
Adaïewsky wrote vocal music (including choral works), chamber music, and two operas. She also edited a collection of Italian songs and published writings on folk music and the music of ancient Greece.
