Natalia Janotha (8 June 1856 – 9 June 1932) was a Polish pianist and composer.



Biography
Natalia Janotha was born in Warsaw, Poland, the daughter of Julius Janothy (1819–1883) who was a composer and teacher at the Institute of Music in Warsaw.
She started piano lessons with her father at a young age and later studied music in Berlin with Ernst and Woldemar Rudorff Bargiel, with Clara Schumann, and possibly had lessons from Johannes Brahms.
She performed her first recital in 1868 and toured Europe as a concert pianist. She was known as an interpreter of Chopin, and in 1885 she became the Imperial Court pianist in Berlin.
She became noted as a mountain climber, sometimes wearing men's pants, and lived for a few years in London, but was deported to her homeland in 1916 during the politics of World War I. She died in The Hague in 1932.
