I could not name a female pianist until I watched this video.

All the pianists I’m familar with are male.

Obviously you never heard of the Lebeque sisters: Katia and Marielle Labeque. They were FABULOUS and performed all over the world.
Clara Schumanm, Robert Schumanm's wife, was a famous pianist.
Nina Simone, Martha Argerich...look up "famous women pianists" on Google. Some composed.

I grew up hearing NOTHING but classical music. And it was almost all piano since that is what my father liked.
He didn't like opera but when the "Songs of the Auvergne" came out, sung by Natania Davrath, Soviet-born soprano opera and concert singer--he bought the record. I still listen to it occcasionally.
