Hanna, what style of harp is this you're playing on?

@parkerharps

Ooops, indeed, I have! That's what comes from having too much information overwhelming you! I do not play the harp but have too many harpist friends!

[parkerharps]

@sunidak The Pleyel edition is in the Bib. Nat in Paris, and that is what Zabaleta used as his source for the Schott edition, and assumed it was JL, not Sophia, but the original Corri-Dussek edition from 1794 is in the BL in London, and states by Madame Dussek.

Are you confusing the 7 progs with Naderman?

[parkerharps]

@sunidak She wrote 6 sonatas in opus 2, which is where the C minor came from.. she wrote others, including a piano sonata dor maria Cosway.

When Dussek abandoned Sophia in 1799, he went first to Hamburg then back to Paris. He had no funds, so arranged for some editions to be publioshed. Pleyel was publishing in Paris, and Dussek sent some works to him Sophia's opus 2 was one of these, but Sophia was pretty much unknown in Paris, so Pleyel just put Dussek on the cover. cont

@parkerharps

Huh! Has it been Re-attributed? How is it attributed as one of the seven Progressive Sonatas or was it a mistake. She DID write another sonata herself, though.

[parkerharps]

@sunidak No, it was written *BY* his wife, and misattributed by Zabaleta in 1952!

@cutefidgety
