Kralik took piano lessons from her mother, and later was a pupil of Anton Bruckner, Franz Krenn and Julius Epstein.

My father Wilhelm Kralik von Meyrswalden (d. 1877) was a glass manufacturer (head of the Meyr's Neffe factory in Bohemia), my mother Louise was born Lobmeyr (sister of Ludwig Lobmeyr, a member of the House of Lords and glass industrialist in Vienna).

I first heard Beethoven's violin sonatas from my parents, Haydn's and Mozart's sounds were first imparted to me through the quartets at home.

Later, my two older brothers and finally I took over domestic music-making from them, which consisted of duets, trios and quartets of our classics.I enjoyed my first piano lessons with my mother, then with Eduard Hauptmann in Linz.

After we moved to Vienna in 1870, I received lessons in piano and harmony from Carl Hertlein (flutist at the Court Opera).

In the following years we cultivated a cappella singing in our house, through which I became more familiar with the works of the Dutch, Italian and German masters of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Josef Venantius von Wöss hosted a concert in the Great Hall of the Musikverein on 12 January 1900 where her work The Baptism of Christ after a poem by Pope Leo XIII was presented.

The opera Blume und Weissblume was presented in Hagen in 1910, and in Bielsko in 1912, and was popular not only because of these two performances, but also because of sensationalist coverage in the press.

[4] Kralik's symphony in F minor (1903/revised 1942) and violin concerto (1937) were performed at the Brucknerhaus in Linz on 18 September 2021, by Francesca Dego with the Female Symphonic Orchestra of Austria, conducted by Silvia Spinnato.
