Were composers often improvisers?

Sgutsitn was born in the city of Cøøve in Fyxám to an [[Verse:Tricin/Anøvr|Anøvrian]] immigrant family of Adutsib descent as the second of three children. Her father was the [[w:Mathematical analysis|analyst]] Avnín Sgutsitn (adapted from Adutsib ''ʔaxwəgwad skwucił'') and was chair of mathematics in the University of Flian who composed in his spare time. Her mother, Nyvað Salis, was a classical ''ŋams'' player and music teacher. Her mother's brother, Mugiv Ytxuðe, was a ''sewøðr'' player.

A precocious tomboy, Rewhd was taught mathematics and ''davr'' by her parents.  She started auditing music and math classes before she was 5. She was to a large extent self-taught in the boarding school math and music curriculum, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries, music to listen to, and instruments to learn to play. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in Olltal University in math at age 10 by taking an entrance exam. She was an exceptionally gifted student and graduated in mathematics and music with honors at age 16 (fT 2252).

Around graduation, Sgutsitn began to study with composers such as Cosga Siva. <!--At the encouragement of Siva, in fT 2255 she participated in the regional composition competition ''Farca Cøøve'', with ''[some cantata or mini-opera]'' and won.-->

In fT 2256 Sgutsitn returned as a doctoral student in mathematics to the University of Olltal, where she specialized in number theory. Under the supervision of number theorist Esŋóo Mnaŋ, Sgutsitn was awarded a doctorate for her dissertation ''On Elliptic Curves over Finite Fields'' (fT 2260), wherein she proved [[w:Hasse's theorem on elliptic curves|Hasse's theorem on elliptic curves]].

Shortly after receiving her doctorate, Sgutsitn abandoned research mathematics. She sustained herself by teaching or tutoring math and music, and occasionally by selling her compositions. She started corresponding with a number of composers and musicians to exchange ideas about music. These discussions, as well as explorations of non-Etalocian musical traditions, would inspire her to further develop the music theory at that time.
