She started playing the piano at the age of three and studied with Sarah Bourdillon de Santorsola,[1] at Montevideo’s Escuela Normal de M\u00fasica.  At the age of eight Varsi played Bach’s F minor Keyboard Concerto in Uruguay and Brazil, and in 1949 she made her debut with the OSSODRE (Uruguay’s National Radio Symphony Orchestra), playing the same concerto under Vicente Ascone.[1] In 1952, Varsi played her first recital at the Centro Cultural de M\u00fasica. In 1955, she performed Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto with Victor Tevah and the OSSODRE.[2] In 1960 she appeared with the same orchestra, playing Beethoven’s G major Concerto with Enrique Jord\u00e1. In Buenos Aires in 1959 she took first prize in the George Lalewicz competition, followed by first prizes in the Maria Canals International Music Competition in Barcelona in 1962[3] and the Concours Clara Haskil in 1967, in Lucerne.In 1961 Varsi made her debut in the United States when Dallas Symphony Music Director Paul Kletzki invited Varsi to perform as a soloist with his orchestra.[1]  She continued her studies in Paris, New York and Switzerland, and after her triumph in the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition in 1967,[4] her international performing and recording career was launched.[5]  She performed extensively with major European symphony orchestras and major music festivals, taught master classes, and was a juror at the international competitions.
