An unidentified critic noted in 1911 that "Elsa Laura sings songs in ten different languages and in many dialects. ... she is equally at home in the folk songs of Provence and in the darky songs of America. The French Chanson and the Tyrolian Schnaderhiipfel have no terrors for her." Elsa composed her own songs and arranged hundreds of French, German and Scandinavian folk songs for voice and lute, which were published by Friedrich Hofmeister Musikverlag in Leipzig. She also set poems by her husband Ernst to music. Her works include: * Death Rides * Father Weislein * Five Songs (words by Ernst and Elsa Wolzogen; music by Juan Manen, opus A-4) * My Lute and Me (1917) * My Songs to the Lute (1910) * Rosemary and Rhombus: Old Lute songs * Ten Cheerful Little Wise Men (1912) * Wilhelm Busch Songs (en)
