This biography is the first-ever telling of the compelling story of a remarkable woman and pianist. Adele aus der Ohe was born and raised in Germany. She played her orchestral debut at the age of ten and became a student of Franz Liszt at the age of twelve. She arrived in America young and unknown, was an immediate success, and quickly became one of the most sought-after artists of her day.

She toured from St. Petersburg, Russia, to San Francisco, and California. She was a favorite of the Boston Symphony and performed with this venerable organization an astonishing fifty-one times. When Carnegie Hall was dedicated, the finest musicians of the day were engaged Tchaikovsky to conduct and aus der Ohe to solo. She became a friend of Tchaikovsky and he invited her to St. Petersburg to perform his Piano Concerto in B-flat minor at the same concert that featured the premier of his Pathetique Symphony, which turned out to be Tchaikovsky's final performance.
