I was walking around Pere Lachaise cemetary today and happened to see her name on a tomb followed by "harpiste-compositeur". I took a photo, came home and discovered who she was. Very interesting to say the least. Thanks for uploading this piece.
l always thought of Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu as the inspiration for Fairy Fountain, perhaps even a few bars in the first half of Debussy's Clair de Lune, but 1:17 also sounds similar

Wow! Well she truly is a legend in the harp world.
1:17 inspiration for Zelda's fairy fountain?
Good guess! But you're thinking of Charles Oberthür's "Old English Melodies (Englische Melodien aus alter Zeit), Op. 221." Greetings from Acapulco!

Fun piece, but this recording sounds just a *little* too close for the listener's comfort.
