age of sixteen she was already a noted vocalist and pianist in Vienna and had
commissioned works from Salieri, Haydn and Mozart. She emerged on concert tours

tours, she started composing music, mostly for piano and pieces for voice and
keyboard. One of her most famous works is the Sicilenne in E flat Major for piano quartet. This work was
