Louise Caroline Marie Henriette Adolpha Le Beau Born 25.4.1850 Rastatt, Germany - Died 2.7.1927 Baden-Baden, Germany
She studied piano under Johannes Kalliwoda and Clara Schumann, composition and Harmony under M E Sachs, Franz Lachner and Josef Rheinberger. As a virtuoso pianist she was much praised by the feared music critic Eduard Hanslick. Several of her compositions were selected for performance at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933, where there was much emphasis on the women's pavilion.

I think her name is usually given as Luise, or Louise, Adolpha LeBeau or Le Beau (rather than Louisa) but I'm not sure. Apologies for the nitpicking!!!
The quartet op.34, according to the Furore edition's title, is from 1885; the piano (not string) trio op.15 from 1877.
The cello/bass quintet may have opus number 54 (or may have been given it when published by Furore Edition in 2010- I don't know at this time. It's for 2 violins, viola and 2 cellos or 2 violins, viola, cello and contrabass.)
HMB (searched up to 1900 - will look at the ONB scans later for 1900-1927 or so) lists her first two opp. under Lebeau in 1875 (for piano published by Praeger & Meyer) and after that starting with op.3 as Le Beau.
Op.10 is a violin sonata in C minor published 1882 (if HMB is trustworthy about key... welll...)- I don't know if it exists in a piano solo version.
Op.38 - Canon for flute, viola and piano (pub.1887/88 or so)
Op.44 - Elegy for violin and piano (pub.1899)
Hadmouth is a neat name but according to Worldcat the original less mute name (sorry, bad pun) was Hadumoth : Scenen aus Scheffel's Ekkehard : zsgest. von d. Componistin ; gedichtet von Luise Hitz ; für Soli, Chor und Orchester ; op. 40.
Op.7 is also (besides concerto 1?) 5 Lieder for soprano and piano (published 1878 by Luckhardt.)
