Bohemian singer and composer, daughter of Jan Dussek (1738-1818) and
brother of Franz Benedikt Dussek (1766-c.1816) and Jan Ladislav Dussek
(1760-1812). A pupil of her father, organist and composer, she went to
London about 1795 to perform at the invitation of her brother Jan
Ladislav Dussek. There, she married Francesco Cianchettini, a music
dealer and publisher who in association with Sperati had the English
rights for J.L. Dussek’s works from 1807 to 1811. As a composer, she
wrote two concertos and published some solo piano works, including three
sonatas using ‘favorite airs as adagios and rondos’ (Op.2, Op.6, Op.8),
sets of variations and short pieces based on well-known tunes. Her son
Pio Cianchettini (1799-1851) was a pianist and composer.
