Erzsebet Radvaner as a little girl

This is me at age nine in Budapest. For three years I learned to play the piano, because we had a borrowed one from my uncle. During the year the piano was at our house, but during the summer they moved out of the town to Zugliget and they took the piano along. Then they said that all the transportation was damaging the piano and they would not bring it anymore. I practised all kinds of sports, but wasn't good at anything except rowing, which I loved. I swam, but badly. I skated, I played field hockey and tennis, but all these just a bit.
