Anna Amelia, of Prussia, sister to Frederic the Great, was born in 1723. She was a pupil in composition of Kirnberger, and composed a sacred cantata of extraordinary merit, and several other musical works. She died at Berlin in 1787, and bequeathed her very valuable collection of music to the Gymnasium at Berlin.
