In 1908, she was sent to Paris to study with Harold Bauer; and from there, she went to Berlin where, for five years, where she worked with Albert Jonas.

Upon returning to the United States, she made her recital debut in New York on February 17, 1916.[3] Pyle went on to perform as soloist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the New York Symphony Orchestra, the Russian Symphony Orchestra (in New York City), and orchestras of Cincinnati, Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Chicago.[4]

Family

Her only sibling, Lou Netta Pyle (1885 – 1965) was married to Karl Kirksmith (1882 – 1955), a well-known cellist in New York and with several orchestras, including the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

Pyle was briefly married to Ottokar Malek, a famous European pianist who emigrated to the US in 1902-03. They were married on April 9, 1905 in Dallas, Texas,[5] and divorced in October 1906.[6] Malek later founded the Grand Rapids (Michigan) symphony orchestra.

Sometime between 1940 and 1943, Pyle married her former teacher and colleague Harold Victor Bauer, who, in 1940, had been widowed by his first wife, Marie (née Knapp). They remained together until his death in 1951.
