Thomas Martin Einstein
Albert Einstein had three children, Lieserl Maric (1902–1903?), Hans Albert Einstein (1904–1973), and Eduard "Tete" Einstein (1910–1965), but only Hans Albert is known to have married and had children. Hans Albert's only biological child to survive to adulthood was Bernard Caesar Einstein (1930–2008), who was a physicist and the father of Thomas Martin Einstein.
Albert Einstein
His mother played the piano reasonably well and wanted her son to learn the violin, not only to instill in him a love of music but also to help him assimilate into German culture. According to conductor Leon Botstein, Einstein began playing when he was 5, although he did not enjoy it at that age.
