Edith Farnadi

Edith Farnadi (25 September 1921 – 12 or 14 December 1973) was a Hungarian pianist.

She was born in Budapest and began her studies at the age of 7 at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. She studied with Professor Arnold Székely (also a teacher of Louis Kentner). At the age of 9, she made her musical debut as a child prodigy. At the age of 12, she played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1, directing the orchestra from the piano. She received her diploma from the Musical Academy in Budapest when she was 17 years old. During her studies at the Music Academy she won the Franz Liszt Prize twice. She became a professor at the Budapest Franz Liszt Academy where she remained until 1942. She then concertized widely throughout Europe in the 1950s and made recordings with the Westminster Label.[1] In ensemble she performed with the Barylli Quartet.

It was while still a student in Budapest that she became a steady musical partner with the great Hungarian violinist Jenő Hubay. At the International Musical afternoons at the Budapest Palais, she performed many times with Bronisław Huberman.[2]

gollark: If it comes to it I *think* I can reflash it from the "MTK scatter tool" but this would require me to find a windows computer somewhere and such.
gollark: Or fastboot.
gollark: I can get *recovery mode*, but only a somewhat broken recovery mode which lets me run shell commands somehow but which does not seem to want to actually boot into system mode, *somehow*.
