During a car crash in Spain in 1934 Honegger was slightly injured but she broke both her knees and she never fully recovered. They tried to live together in 1935 but this lasted for less than a year. During her career she often performed her husband's compositions. Pierre Boulez studied counterpoint with her from 1944 to 1946. Family • Husband: Honegger, Arthur (1926-) |
