Assistant Manager WA "CHE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS HALF a century ago Anton Rubinstein, like his immortal con- temporaries, Wagner and Liszt, pronounced the Steinway "unrivalled" among pianos. Today Sergei Rachmaninoff, the greatest Russian pianist since Rubinstein, has said: "Only upon a Steinway can the works of the masters be played with full artistic justice." Generation after generation the Steinway stands supreme — the chosen piano of the masters — the immortal instrument of the Immortals of Music.
