Composer finally coming into her own in later life, domestic circumstances preventing her from pursuing her early musical training. She writes with virtuoso technique, creating bright, lively and breathtakingly original pieces. In the 1989 documentary on her life and music, she said "The main thing about my music is that it is completely abstract.....there's no programme but I really think I express the turmoil of living......a lot of happiness and unhappiness.....I've always been struggling to do something with my life and I just try to express all that in my music."
