Elfrida Andrée - Piano Trio no. 2 (1/3) 1884

Elfrida Andrée (19 February 1841, Visby - 11 January 1929, Gothenburg) was a Swedish organist, composer, and conductor.

Andrée was the pupil of Ludvig Norman and Niels Wilhelm Gade. Her sister was the singer Fredrika Stenhammar. An activist in the Swedish women's movement, she was one of the first female organists to be officially appointed in Scandinavia. She began work in Stockholm in 1861 and became the organist at Gothenburg Cathedral in 1867. For her services, she was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.

Andrée's organ symphonies are still performed today. Her other compositions included the opera Fritiofs saga (1899, libretto by Selma Lagerlöf), several works for orchestra including four symphonies, a piano quartet in A minor (1870) and quintet in E minor (published in 1865), a piano trio in G minor (1887) (and another published posthumously in C minor), a string quartet in D minor from 1861 and another in A major, pieces for violin (including sonatas in E flat and B flat major) and for piano, a Swedish mass, and lieder.
