Played the harpsichord before King Louis XIV at the age of five. Was noticed by Madame de Montespan, and was kept on in her entourage. Her opera Céphale et Procris was the first written by a woman in France. Composed some of the earlist French examples of the sonata. Composed early examples of the new genre of accompanied harpsichord works, where the instrument is used in an obbligato role with the violin. (Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre)
