Elizabeth Hardin (1750–1780) was an English composer and organist. As a teenager (c.1764) she was appointed as the organist of St Peter le Poer church on Broad Street, London; she likely worked there until her death in 1780 when she was aged 29.[1][2] In 1770 she published "Six Lessons for the Harpsichord", a series of pieces primarily in binary form written in the classical style, which feature hand crossovers in the style of Scarlatti.[3] Hardin's music has been recorded by composer and performer Barbara Harbach and was released on the CD Sonatas By Elizabeth alongside music by Elisabetta de Gambarini.[4]
