Early on, she received piano lessons from her father, who was influenced by his friend Ignaz von Beeck. After her father"s death on 29 February 1792, she continued the piano workshop independently.
In 1787 she sang "some minor arias" in a concert. She had to give up singing later for health reasons. Johann Baptist Streicher was the sole owner of the factory, which under his leadership acquired many patents and became world famous.
The company was sold in 1896 to the brothers Stingl.
Nannette Streicher and Andreas were not only piano makers. The concerts she organised were an important contribution to Viennese musical life, first in her apartment, then from 1812 in a piano salon she organized, which offered young artists welcome opportunities for performance.
Nanette Streicher died on 16 January 1833 after two months of illness.
