...Europe, the Quartette Italiano and the Amadeus Quartet are perhaps the best examples of the traditional Old World ensemble. In the U.S., a first-rate group like the Juilliard has proved that American string players are the equal of any produced out of the classic European mold. Yet, in the minds of many chamber music connoisseurs, another group comes even closer to the elegant perfection of the old Budapest: the Guarneri String Quartet, which made its New York debut...

In 1953, after a year of study at Manhattan's Juilliard School of Music (paid for by friends back home), she landed a $90-a-week job playing piano at a bar in Atlantic City.
