Early life and training
Early life and training
The daughter of John Lawrence Goodwin, a Manchester organist and violinist, she began performing at the age of six, but received mixed reception as to her 'child prodigy' status at least until the age of fourteen. She studied at the Leipzig Conservatory for four years from the age of eleven, followed by the Paris Conservatory under Élie-Miriam Delaborde for two years. On the guarantee of Camille Saint-Saëns, she became a pupil of Franz Liszt and of Clara Schumann.
