There should be fourteen music works by Maria Hester Park at least because the front page of Op.XII presents the title of an unknown work, A New Waltz. Moreover, the titles of Op. IX and Op. X also can be found on the cover page, which makes the catalogue of work more complete. Whereas, their full scores still lost. Currently, the titles of Op. V and Op. XI are also undiscovered.
