'For four years a wonder has appeared here. She sings at sight the most difficult music. She accompanies herself, and others who wish to sing, at the harpsichord, which she plays in an inimitable manner. She composes pieces and plays them in all the keys asked of her. I have told you that for four years she has been appearing with these extraordinary qualities and she is still only ten years old'.peer-reviewe
