MARIA ANTOINETTA AMELIA,
Duchess of Saxe Gotha, daughter of Ulric of Saxe Meiningen, was born in 1672. Her talents as a performer on the piano, and as a composer, would have been creditable to a professed artist. Several of her canzoni, and also variations for the piano, have been published; but her most important work is a symphony in ten parts. She died towards the beginning of this century.
