A late Baroque and Classical style artist, se achieved distinction as an all-around musician, performing on, and composing for a variety of musical instruments as well as voice. Her compositions were known to reflect that of vocal work instead of instrumental patterns. She was the first female composer in Britain to publish a collection of keyboard music. The third of four children, her father was a nobleman from Lucca, Italy and her mother was of similar status from Dalmatia. Her formal musical education is unknown but there is speculation that she may have studied with Francesco Geminiani, composer of "The Inchanted Forest." She began her career singing in George Frederick Handel's "Occasional Oratiorio" (1746 to 1747) and also performed as the First Israelite Woman at the first performance and sang in "Judas Maccabaeu" (1747) and "Joseph and his Brethren"(1747). By 1748 her reputation allowed her to promote and perform her own benefit concert. She sang and played her own compositions with the organ and also issued her first two volumes of music. "The Six Sets of Lessons for the Harpsichord" was published while in her teens. Her music had many subscribers, among them were famous musicians, Handel and Francesco Geminiani, as well as various dukes, lawyers, barons, peers as well as captains. Later that year she published "Lessons for the Harpsichord Intermix'd with Italian and English Songs" followed by "XII English & Italian Songs, for a German flute and Thorough Bass…Opera III" in 1750. On 20 March 1764 she married Etienne Chazal at St Martin-in-the-Fields. She gave one concert as Mrs. Chazal in May, but died at her home of unknown causes at the age of 33 in Castle Court, Strand, in the parish of St Martin-in-the-Fields, Westminster, less than a year later.
