At the age of eighteen she made an eminently successful début, on which occasion she played several of her own compositions. From that time her career was a continuous succession of triumphs. Her piano concerto was played at the Gewandhaus, London Philharmonic, Lamoureux and Colonne concerts. Among her most important solo works for the piano are Étude Symphonique, Valse Caprice, Guitarre, Arabesque, six concert études, and five Airs de Ballet, containing the well-known Scarf Dance.
