Life

Nathalie Janoatha was a daughter of the pianist Juliusz Janotha (1819-1883), who was a professor at the Warsaw Conservatory. Her mother was Anne Janotha née Oleszczyńska, a daughter of the painter Antoni Oleszczyński (1794-1879).

From October 1869 she studied together with Eugenie Schumann, a daughter of Clara Schumann, with Ernst Rudorff (piano) at the Berlin Musikhochschule, and also with Clara Schumann’s half-brother Woldemar Bargiel (counterpoint).

From 1871 until at least 1874 she was taught by Clara Schumann herself, who spoke very positively of her on several occasions. She subsequently gave concerts throughout Europe, including in America. From the late 1880s she was active in London, and in 1885 she was appointed Royal Prussian Court Pianist. In 1915, during the First World War, she had to leave England because of her relations with Prussia and moved to The Hague.

She was an outstanding Chopin interpreter and left behind around 400 of her own works. She was also active as a translator and editor.
