Kate Fanny Loder, later Lady Thompson, (21 August 1825 – 30 August 1904) was an English composer and pianist. ==Biography== Kate Loder was born on 21 August 1825,〔 on Bathwick Street, Bathwick,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=haydencowan&id=I14727 )〕 within Bath, Somerset where the Loder family were prominent musicians. Her father was the flautist George Loder. According to ''Grove'', her mother was a piano teacher born Fanny Philpot, who was the sister of the pianist Lucy Anderson. Kate was also the sister of conductor and composer George Loder,〔 and the cousin of composer Edward Loder. However, genealogical research suggests Kate's mother was Frances Elizabeth Mary Kirkham (1802–50), daughter of Thomas Bulman Kirkham (1778–1845) and Marianne Beville Moore (c.1781 – 1810).〔 Frances Kirkham's step-mother was Jane Harriett Philpot (1802–63), second wife to Thomas Bulman Kirkham and sister of the Lucy Philpot who married the violinist George Frederick Anderson, becoming Lucy Anderson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lawleys of Bath Tree )〕 Kater Loder studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and made her debut in 1844, playing Mendelssohn's G minor piano concerto. On 16 December 1851 at St Marylebone Church, Westminster, she married Sir Henry Thompson〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=haydencowan&id=I14729 )〕 and soon afterward gave up her public performing career. Loder became the first woman professor of harmony at the Royal Academy. On 10 July 1871, the first British performance of the ''German Requiem'' of Johannes Brahms took place privately at Loder's home in Wimpole Street, London. It was performed using a version for piano duet accompaniment which became known as the "London Version" () of the Requiem. Brahms based it on an 1866 arrangement for piano of his first, six-movement version of the Requiem. The pianists were Kate Loder and Cipriani Potter.〔 She died on 30 August 1904 at Headley Rectory,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=England and Wales, National Probate Calendar )〕 Headley, Surrey.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kate Loder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
