Also known as: Ella Adajevskaja, Ella Adayevskaya, Ella Adaïewsky, Элла Георгиевна Адаевская
Russian classical pianist of Baltic German origin (1846–1926)
Ella von Schultz-Adaïewsky; Russian: Элла (Елизавета) Георгиевна Адаевская; 22 February 1846 [O.S. 10 February] – 26 July 1926) was a Russian-German composer, pianist, and ethnomusicologist. Note: "Adayevskaya" is an incorrect appellation. Adaïewsky purposely selected a Russian male pseudonym to hide her identity as a female Protestant composer of German descent in Imperial Russia. She explained that she derived the first letters of her artist name (A-D-A) from the opening motif of the overture to Mikhail Glinka's opera Ruslan and Lyudmila.
