She was a First Prize winner at the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1949 and shared this prize with another noted pianist, Bella Davidovich. Ms. Czerny-Stefanska made many recordings and was especially known for her performances of Chopin pieces including the Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor.
