She studied in Warsaw with Stanislav Bartsevich and in Brussels with Cesar Thomson , however, having married the medical doctor Adam Ploshko early, she was forced to quit her performing career and leave with her husband in Baku , where he got a job thanks to her brother Yosef Ploshko . Their son Karol Sigismund Ploshko (1905–20), who volunteered for the Soviet-Polish war and died in the battle of Warsaw , was born there; Ivanova-Ploshko herself served at the time as a nurse in the Polish army [1] .
In the years 1908-1916. she ran a music school in Warsaw (among the teachers who taught there was, in particular, Zofia Tsiborovskaya ). At the same time, she continued to give concerts - in particular, in 1910, along with her sister, Yadviga Ivanovskaya-Zaleskaya, gave two concerts in the London hall of Bechstein [2] . In the same year, the sisters performed in Smolensk , performing, among other things, the Kreutzer Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven : the reviewer (young A. R. Belyaev ) noted that Ivanovo had “a solid technique. Clear staccato, clear flageolets, double notes, octaves, arpeggios, and above all this is a full, juicy, beautiful bow ” [3] .
In 1922 she married Ferdinand Ossendovsky, accompanied him on several trips. In 1925, during one of them, she gave a concert in Conakry [4] . Impressed by the trip with Ossendovsky to Africa, she wrote the piano cycle “West Africa” [5] .
