In March 1841 she played in Vienna “with the double flageolet notes she had invented […]; its mechanics deserve attention if it were only turned towards a more grateful object ”. The double flageolet tone has been part of the technical repertoire of classical guitarists ever since . On December 8, 1841, she gave a second concert in the Vienna Musikvereinssaal and provided “evidence of her extraordinary ability on the guitar”. In the years 1841-1844 she undertook a concert tour through Europe.
