Regina Strinasacchi

[1] She knew Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart well enough that he composed the Sonata in B flat for Violin and Keyboard, "Strinasacchi," (K. 454) at her request.

[2][1] In addition to her skill with the violin, she played guitar and composed, having studied at Vivaldi's school, the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice.

On 29 April 1784 she performed a concert with Mozart for Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II, where they debuted the sonata.

[1] They performed some concert tours together after their marriage, playing duos for violin and cello and mandolin and guitar.

[1] Their son, Johann Friedrich William Schlick, was born in 1801 and became a cellist and instrument maker.
