It's OK. We all learn. P.S.: How about registering?

Teresa Carreño (December 22, 1853 – June 12, 1917) was a Venezuelan pianist, soprano and composer. Her family emigrated to the United States when she was a child, and she made her debut in a piano recital at Irving Hall in New York City at the age of eight. After giving concerts across the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, Carreño travelled to Europe with her family in 1866, and performed in France, Spain and Britain, occasionally taking on operatic roles. In her later career, she performed at many venues around Europe and North America, and made concert tours to Australia and New Zealand. She composed approximately 75 works for solo piano, voice and piano, choir and orchestra, and instrumental ensembles.

This photograph of Carreño, taken sometime between 1915 and 1917, shows her at the piano; it is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, held at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden
