Early life


Marie-Aimée Miclos was born in Toulouse.[2][3] She studied at the Conservatoire de Toulouse and the Conservatoire de Paris, with Louise Aglaé Massart [de] and with Henri Herz.[4]


Career


Several composers dedicated compositions to Roger-Miclos.[5] Joseph O'Kelly dedicated a piano work to Roger-Miclos in 1884.[6] Camille Saint-Saëns dedicated a piano piece to Roger-Miclos, which she premiered in 1891.[7]

Roger-Miclos played in London in 1890[8] and 1894.[9] She toured German-speaking cities in 1893, 1894, and 1897.[2] She toured in the United States and Canada in the 1902–1903 season.[10][11] "She comes from Southern France, the land of fire and passion, and is an artist of interesting and unconventional qualities, possessing a strongly marked sense of rhythm, brilliant and incisive touch, and her playing is marked with certainty, that adds tonal charm to brilliancy," observed one reviewer, adding "As a pianiste she is an artistic diplomat."[12] In 1905, she made recordings of Mendelssohn and Chopin works.[13][14]

She also taught piano, at the Paris Conservatoire.[15] American painter George Da Maduro Peixotto made a portrait of her in 1893. She was also the subject of a medal made by French artist Geneviève Granger [fr], exhibited in 1909.[16]


Personal life


Marie-Aimée Roger-Miclos married twice. Her first husband, Roger, was a railroad inspector; they married in 1881, and he died in 1887.[3] Her second husband was fellow musician Louis-Charles Battaille, the son of Charles-Amable Battaille; they married in 1905, and he died in 1937. She died in Paris in 1951, aged 91 years.[2][17]
