Elise Schlick

Maria Elisabeth, Countess of Schlick (German: Maria Elisabeth, Gräfin von Schlick zu Bassano und Weißkirchen, Czech: Marie Alžběta Šliková; c. 1790 – 14 December 1855) was a Bohemia-born composer and poet.

[2] Although Schlick is often described as German,[3][4] some sources list her birthplace as Prague and her birth year as 1792.

[5] Little is known about Schlick’s early life or education.

She was the sister-in-law of Count Franz zu Bassano und Weisskirchen, an Austrian general who helped suppress the Hungarian uprising in 1849.

[7] Her musical compositions were published by Franz Gloggl and C. A. Spina in Vienna; August Cranz in Hamburg; and Schott in Mainz.
