After her return from the three-year stay at the Villa Medici in Rome associated with the award, Gartenlaub began a career as a pianist and composer. Under the direction of Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht , she recorded the piano works by Claude Debussy for the ORTF . In 1954 she won the Grand Prix du Disque with the singer Flore Wend .
