Divertimento for Solo Piano or Pedal Harp by Mrs. M. A. Bryan. Edited by Barbara Harbach. For solo piano or pedal harp. Historical Piano or Harpsichord. 12 pages. Published by Vivace Press (VV.VIV-1838).

Nothing is known about the life of Mrs. M. A. Bryan except what appears on the title page of A Divertimento for Solo Piano or Pedal Harp. Even her full name is not known. Written in a late 18th or early 19th century style, the Divertimento in E-flat Major has four movements. Since the Divertimento was composed for the pianoforte or pedal harp, the composer probably tried to capture both instrumental markets for her piece. This Divertimento is a fascinating and intriguing addition in the study of women keyboard composers of the eighteenth century.
