Studeny was born in Munich [1] to Hermine Niemeczek and medical doctor Alfred S. Studeny. She married the painter Julius Nitsche in 1921. [4]

Studeny made her debut as a violinist in 1903. She attended the Prague Conservatory, where she studied with Antonin Dvorak and Otakar Sevcik, and later with Richard Schrammel. [5] Studeny’s students included Joseph “Nipso” Brantner, [6] Juan Wolfgang Granat, [7] Herbert Hirschmann, Michael Mann, and Gerhard Seitz. [8]

Studeny said that her “credo” was three bars of the Chaconne from Bach’s Partita No. 2. [9] She performed as a soloist, and also formed the Studeny String Quartet in Munich with Alf Beckmann, Lotte Harburger, and Karl List. [10] Guenter Henle sometimes accompanied her on the piano. [11] Her performing career slowed after World War II when she was accused of belonging to the Third Reich’s Chamber of Music, but she eventually resumed performing.[ citation needed ]
