Peter's mother, Henrietta Adamovna, awakened in the boy from an early age a love of music. Education of parents and the situation in the family laid in the boy such qualities as disinterestedness, respect for work, principledness - they became the features of his character and determined his entire future life.

Up to nine years, the future scientist passed home schooling, and at the age of nine he was sent to the St. Petra. The study was given to him very easily, and at the same time he was a diligent student - he worked on books for a long time and faithfully carried out assignments.
