Of the women who have attempted large choral works, there are several besides those already mentioned. Baroness Bertha von Bruckenthal has received high praise for her "Grand Messe Solennelle," and for some four-voiced numbers with organ accompaniment. She has also written pieces for violin, 'cello, voice, and piano. Angelica Henn, one of Kalliwoda's best pupils, is credited with a "Missa Solemnis," also an opera, "The Rose of Lebanon," and some songs and instrumental works. Anna Pessiak-Schmerling, born in Vienna, was for many years teacher of singing at the conservatory there, and won more than a local reputation through the performance of her masses. Johanna Kinkel is responsible for a "Bird Cantata," as well as an operetta and many popular songs. Hers also is the well-known quartette, "The Soldier's Farewell." Agathe Plitt, a child prodigy in her early years, is still an excellent pianist, and has entered the lists in composition with a number of successful cantatas, psalms, motets, and other sacred works. Hermine Amersfoodt-Dyck won fame by producing the cantata, "Gottes Allgegenwart." In the operatic field, Josepha Mueller-Gallenhofer, born at Vienna in 1770, seems the pioneer. Besides her opera, "Der Heimliche Bund," she published a string quartette and many pieces for the harp, upon which she was an excellent performer. Caroline Wiseneder, of Brunswick, deserves notice for her aid to the blind, for whom she started a successful music school. Her two operas and several melodramas were published after her death. Auguste Goetze, born at Weimar in 1840, grew up to success as a singer of German _Lieder_, and founded an opera school at Dresden. Of her operas, "Susanna Monfort," "Magdalena," and "Eine Heimfahrt," have been frequently performed. Elise Schmezer has composed the opera "Otto der Schuetz," besides a number of songs. Thekla Griebel has had her opera, "Schoen Karen," produced twice within recent years. Elise Bachmann published a melodrama, "Die Macht der Musik," also some songs and piano pieces in popular vein. Among less important works, the Countess of Ahlefeldt issued the ballet, "Telemach und Calypso," in 1794. Julie von Pfeilschifter, born in 1840, is author of the grand ballet, "Voeglein's Morgengruss" and the dramatic _scena_, "Agneta," which have pleased Wiesbaden audiences; also a number of piano selections and songs.
