Answer: A - Played Music Einstein first started playing the violin at age 5, and he turned to the instrument throughout his life when he wanted to relax. He also used music to stay focused: According to his wife Elsa, when Einstein was struggling with a scientific theory, he would play chords on the piano to regain focus.
His mother was the musician in the family. Pauline Koch Einstein was an accomplished pianist in her own right, and taught Einstein to play the piano and violin when he was very young. Initially he showed more aptitude for the piano, but as he became a teenager he developed more interest in the violin.
