At the time when Marie Jaëll was taking up composition, women composers were no longer unusual within French musical life, as they had been in preceding centuries and in the first half of the nineteenth century. The years 1870-1920, in contrast, represent a burgeoning period, as is reflected in the concert programmes of the Société Nationale de Musique, the Société Musicale Indépendante and the symphonic concert societies. Alongside Clémence de Grandval, Augusta Holmès and Cécile Chaminade, Marie Jaëll was part of the quartet of women composers who enjoyed both public success and the high regard of their peers at this time.
