Marguerite Roesgen-Champion (1894 - 1976)

Marguerite Roesgen-Champion was a pupil of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze and Ernst Bloch in Geneva, but made a career in Paris, where she moved in 1926, active as a teacher and instrumentalist (both harpsichordist and pianist). Perhaps the first Swiss female composer of international importance, she still awaits a revival of her compositions (she tried almost all genres except opera).
