Arthur Rubinstein—Classical Pianist
Arthur Rubinstein (1887-1982), American pianist, best known as an interpreter of the romantic composers, especially of Frédéric Chopin. He was born in Łódź, Poland, and educated in Warsaw and Berlin. He made his professional debut as a child in 1901, appearing with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by his teacher, the famed Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim. With the German occupation of France in 1940, Rubinstein settled permanently in America, becoming a United States citizen in 1946 and later Americanizing the spelling of his name (originally Artur). He toured internationally, frequently played on the radio, and appeared on television and in motion pictures. His 1971 performance with the New York Philharmonic marked his 71st year as a performer.

Earl Wild—American pianist
Earl Wild, the pianist, rates Moszkowski's transcription for piano of 'Isolde's Tod' as superior to that of Liszt's (see 'The Art of Transcription', Earl Wild, Carnegie Hall 1981). His Piano Concerto in E is one of the best of the Romantic period concertos and has been recorded by many artistes. His suite for 2 violins and piano is a deliciously moving example of the Moszkowski style (recently performed to great applause at Elvehjem Museum in Madison, WI, USA on March 7, 2004, and as part of the aperitif series of the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston, Sanders Theatre - Harvard Univ., October 3, 2004.). He lost all his investments in the German stock market crash. A Paris fund-raising concert in his honour was attended by such luminaries as Percy Grainger and Leopold Godowsky.
