Caroline Reinagle (born Caroline Orger) (1818 – 11 March 1892) was an English composer, pianist, and writer. Only a few of her works have survived.
Caroline Reinagle was born in London in 1818. In the 1840s she had several of her works published and performed, including a piano trio, premiered by 1842[1] and a piano concerto, published 1842[1] and performed by her in 1843 at Hanover Square Rooms.[2]
In 1846[2] she married Alexander Reinagle. She died in Tiverton, Devon, in 1892.
Her only apparently surviving compositions[2] are some songs, a tarantella in E minor and a sonata in A (the latter two works for piano). The last two have been republished by Vivace Press. Also surviving is a pair of articles in the 1862 Musical Times entitled A Few Words on Piano Playing.[3] Composed but possibly lost also were at least one piano quartet and a cello sonata in addition to the concerto and trio.
