Artur Rubinstein

born Jan. 28, 1887, odz, Pol. died Dec. 20, 1982, Geneva, Switz. Polish-U.S. pianist. His studies with Joseph Joachim led to a debut in Berlin in 1900. He later studied with Ignacy Jan Paderewski as well and performed with moderate success. After some years accompanying the violinist Eugène Ysaye (1858-1931), he stopped performing for five years (1932-37) to improve his technique and reemerged as a giant of 20th-century music. Moving to the U.S., he became equally noted as soloist and chamber musician, with such partners as Jascha Heifetz and Gregor Piatigorsky (1903-76). Active through his 80s, his repertoire ranged from Johann Sebastian Bach to 20th-century Spanish composers; his playing of Frédéric Chopin and Johannes Brahms was particularly admired

Austrian pianist and composer. When he was seven years old, his family moved to Vienna. There he studied with Theodor Leschetizky and also met Johannes Brahms and others. He made his debut in 1890. Based in Berlin from 1900 to 1933, he composed, taught, and gave legendary performances of the complete sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert for centenary celebrations. In the 1930s he became the first to record the complete Beethoven cycle. During the Nazi period, he moved to London, then to the U.S. Though he mostly played works of the past, his own compositions were ultramodern. Today he is uniquely revered by serious pianists
