"While the majority of Ella Kerndl's musical works were long considered lost, they were rediscovered in 2007 in Vienna through a chance discovery during an attic clearance operation – which uncovered previously unknown compositions from her handwritten estate (along with private documents, letters, and a catalogue of works up to Op. 40 compiled by the composer herself). In 2009, the entire collection of music was donated to the Austrian National Library and catalogued there in 2010 by Cécile Billault (as part of her master's thesis in library studies)." - Certosa-Verlag biography
