A Pianoforte Recita) by MOISEIWITSCH
Benno Moiseiwitsch was only nine years old when he won the Rubinstein prize for piano playing, as a pupil at the Imperial Academy of Music in his native city of Odessa. For five years more he continued his studies there, going at the age of fourteen to Leschetizky in Vienna. He made his first appearance in England four years later at Reading, and when, in the following spring (1909), he played at a Queen's Hall Concert in London, his success was immediate. Since then he has won a distinguished place among the foremost pianists of today.
