Juliette Nadia Boulanger (French:[ʒy.ljɛt na.dja bu.lɑ̃.ʒe]; 16 September 1887–22 October 1979) was a French composer, conductor, and teacher who taught many of the leading composers and musicians of the 20th century as well as leading living composers and musicians. She also performed as a pianist and organist.
Boulanger taught in the US and England, working with music academies including the Juilliard School, the Yehudi Menuhin School, the Longy School, the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, but her principal base for most of her life was her family's flat in Paris, where she taught for most of the seven decades from the start of her career until her death at the age of 92.
"Do not take up music unless you would rather die than not do so"
"Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult."
"Life is denied by lack of attention, whether it be to cleaning windows or trying to write a masterpiece."
"Everything we know by heart enriches us and helps us find ourselves. If it should get in the way of finding ourselves, it is because we have no personality."
"A great work of art is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty"
"The art of music is so deep and profound that to approach it very seriously only is not enough. One must approach music with a serious rigor and, at the same time, with a great, affectionate joy."
"The essential [conditions] of everything you do must be choice, love, passion."
"I've been a woman for a little over 50 years and have gotten over my initial astonishment. As for conducting an orchestra, that's a job where I don't think sex plays much part."
"Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it."
"The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love, passion."
"A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty."

Nadia Boulanger - 3 Pieces for cello and piano (audio + sheet music)
At the turn of the 20th century, Paris culture tended to oscillate between the two extremes of elegant refinement and radical upheaval. Lili’s older sister Nadia Boulanger always chose the latter. Born in 1887, she was already enrolled in conservatory as an organ and composition student before the 19th century had finished. When her younger sister Lili Boulanger died in 1918, Nadia vowed she would never compose again. From then on she chose to conduct, teach composition and devote her life to the work of her departed sister. She started teaching in 1921 in Fontainebleau at the American Conservatory, of which she became director in 1948. Entire generations of composers were to call her nothing other than “Mademoiselle”, and she would live to the ripe age of 92 (1979).

At the turn of the 20th century, Paris culture tended to oscillate between the two extremes of elegant refinement and radical upheaval. Lili’s older sister Nadia Boulanger always chose the latter. Born in 1887, she was already enrolled in conservatory as an organ and composition student before the 19th century had finished. When her younger sister Lili Boulanger died in 1918, Nadia vowed she would never compose again. From then on she chose to conduct, teach composition and devote her life to the work of her departed sister. She started teaching in 1921 in Fontainebleau at the American Conservatory, of which she became director in 1948. Entire generations of composers were to call her nothing other than “Mademoiselle”, and she would live to the ripe age of 92 (1979).
Nadia Boulanger’s slim output included the Three Pieces for Cello and Piano which she wrote in 1915. The first piece in E flat minor features a long, extended cello melody with an Impressionist piano texture as accompaniment. The cello plays con sordino (muted), the pianist uses the soft pedal. In the second piece in A minor, the piano responds in close canon to the cello’s flippant figurations. The third piece in C sharp minor is a rough, grotesque dance with the indication “rapidly, with nervous rhythm."
