Countess Stephanie Wurmbrand-von Stuppach was a Hungarian pianist, composer and writer. In 2019 a book was published about her for the first time. Unfortunately – for me at least ;-) – it is in Slovak, but there is a German abstract of the book that runs to 8 pages (I am happy to provide a copy to anybody who is interested, please PM me). Her Wikipedia entry is rather short but does give quite a detailed work list.

As for actually hearing her music, the only piece I have been able to find is this piece from her piano cycle op. 33 'Die schöne Melusine' in two recordings on Youtube:

Most of her works appear to have survived, though, so more recordings may become available at some time in the future.
