Before the war, I was too young to have piano lessons, during
the war, I actually had some, even though we had no piano.
My teacher lived on the same street (Schmidtgasse) as I, so I both
practiced
and had my lessons in her apartment. I do not remember the teachers
name,
but she had a daughter only slightly older than I, probably born in
1934-5,
who's name was Tabitha Tamara. A very strange name at the time,
I believe taken from Rabindranath Tagore.
I also remember, before the war, going with my mother to her piano
lessons.
Her teacher was a Frau Tauber, who had beautiful dark red hair,
a statuesque figure and who impressed me greatly.
Did anyone know or does anyone remember her?
