About
Sophia left a body of about 70 compositions, including original pieces, variations (principally of Scottish airs) and arrangements for harp, fortepiano, harp and fortepiano duo, and some rare arrangements for voice and harp or voice and guitar.
It is reasonable to assume that Sophia began composing as a child, encouraged by her father. It is assumed that the six Sonatas for Harp Op.2 (books 1 and 2) were composed when she was between 16 and 19. Both volumes are dedicated to a Miss Hadsley, and on the frontispiece rose branches decorate the words “with Scots Airs and Reels, for the Adagios & Rondos”.
It should be pointed out, however, that only the second volume includes movements with indications that confirm this rubric. The first volume of sonatas is the only one still in print and performed today, although it was for many years erroneously attributed to Jan Ladslav.
