Gerda von Bülow

Although she was in fact born a baroness she was not interested in riding or dance, preferring furniture design and the violin.

She continued her studies abroad with Firmin Touche in Paris, Georg Kulenkampff in Berlin and Max Rostal and Carl Flesch in London.

[1] She debuted in 1929 at the Tivoli Concert Hall with Max Bruch's Violin Concerto, which was positively received.

But as life as a concert pianist became too demanding for her, she turned to education, graduating as a music teacher in 1932 and qualifying in ear training under Dagmar Borup the following year.

Bülow also gave courses in the rhythmic approach throughout Scandinavia, receiving support from her second husband, the music teacher Verner Oluf Mogensen, whom she married in 1945.
