María Teresa Gertrudis de Jesús Carreño García (December 22, 1853 – June 12, 1917) was a Venezuelan pianist, soprano, composer, and conductor.
Over the course of her 54-year concert career, she became an internationally renowned virtuoso pianist and was often referred to as the "Valkyrie of the Piano." Carreño was an early adopter of the works of one of her students and friend, American composer and pianist Edward MacDowell (1860–1908) and premiered several of his compositions across the globe.
She also frequently performed the works of Norwegian composer and pianist Edvard Grieg (1843–1907).
Carreño composed approximately 75 works for solo piano, voice and piano, choir and orchestra, and instrumental ensemble.
Several composers dedicated their compositions to Carreño, including Amy Beach (Piano Concerto, op.
45) and Edward MacDowell (Piano Concerto No.
2).
