Woman of the Century — Emma R. Steiner (1893)
“ She is engaged on several other operas, some of them of a higher grade. Four of her compositions were selected by Theodore Thomas, to be played in the Columbian Exposition in 1893. These are "I Envy the Rose," "Tecolotl." a Mexican love-song, a "Waltz Song" from "Fleurette," and an operatic "ensemble" for principals and choruses with full orchestral accompaniment. She is recognized as a composer of great merit, a conductor of much ability and a musician whose abilities are marked in every branch of the art. Her home is in New York City. ”
