ARTUR RUBINSTEIN BIOGRAPHY Artur Rubinstein was born in 1889 in Lodz, , the youngest of seven children by nine years. He was, to quote him, “the Benjamin of his father,” who owned a hand-loom factory. Artur displayed musical talent at the age of three. His uncle wrote to , the great Hungarian violinist and friend of Brahms, who pronounced the child’s talent extraordinary but warned against forcing his development. Two years later, Artur gave a concert for charity in Warsaw and at eight studied in that city with Prof. Rozycki. In a few months, however, he had absorbed all that teacher could provide. By a stroke of luck, Artur’s sister was going to to prepare for her marriage and took her prodigy brother to be presented to Joachim. The vener­ able pedagogue was so impressed that he assumed responsibility for young Uiannult, fur.

Artur’s musical future—and sent him to study piano technique with Prof. Heinrich Barth, himself a pupil of Bulow, Taussig and Liszt. The amazing child was also placed with Max Bruch and for instruction in composition and harmony. At eleven, he made his formal debut in Berlin, playing the Mozart Con­ certo in A major, with his muscial godfather, Joachim, conducting the orchestra. By the time he was fifteen, young Rubinstein had spread his talents to encompass most of Germany and Poland, playing once in Warsaw with the orchestra under the direction of Emil Mlynarski, whose daughter Aniela, as yet unborn, was in later years to marry the brilliant soloist.

Rubinstein, a stripling of sixteen and already a specialist in Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms and Liszt, first came to America in January, 1906, under the auspices of William A. Knabe. At the time, Charles Henry Meltzer wrote of him, “He has the intelligence of maturity and the wit of a ‘boulevardier’.” His first American appearance was in Philadelphia with the at the beginning of the month, and his New York debut in was made on January 8, 1906, with the same orchestra under the direction of Fritz Scheel. In Philadelphia Rubinstein played the E Minor Concerto of Chopin; in New York he chose the G Minor Concerto of Saint-Saëns.

Only a few months before, in introducing him to the Concert Society of (a fraternal organization of professional musicians) Saint-Saëns had said: “Allow me to introduce to you one of the greatest artists I know. I foresee for him an admirable career, and to say it all in a few words — he is worthy of the great name he bears.” A week after his Carnegie Hall appearance, on January 15, Rubinstein gave a recital at the Old Casino Theatre playing the D Minor Toccata and Fugue of Bach, the “Waldstein” sonata of Beethoven, and Schumann’s Sym­ phonic Etudes. During the first tour which lasted three months, he gave seventy-five concerts. After leaving America, Rubinstein gave no concerts for several

When he reappeared in Berlin in 1910 he was asked where he had been and what he had been doing. “Oh,” he replied, “I have been dead for a few years.” Actually, he had been in Paris devoting those years to incessant study and (to quote him) to hurdling the greatest obstacle in the path of a prodigy, that of shedding my immaturity.” He succeeded in planting his feet firmly in the music of the classics and the moderns and in establishing his personal and pianistie freedom.

He concertized extensively throughout Europe during the next half-dozen years, playing in and also in St. Petersburg where he rendered the Concerto in D Minor with Serge Koussevitzky conducting the orchestra. Meanwhile in 1932 he had married Aniela Mlynarski at a fairy-tale wedding in London attended by celebrities in music, art, literature, and diplomacy. His daughter, Eva, was born in Buenos Aires in 1933; his son, Paul, in Warsaw in 1935; baby Alina and John Arthur arrived in Hollywood in 1945 and 1946 respectively. During his American season in 1937 Rubinstein was presented by Hurok in seventeen concerts in nine weeks, appearing with seven major symphony orchestras, the initial one being with the Symphony

When war came and the Germans entered Paris to take over his lovely new home on the Avenue Foche, the European chapter of his life was closed temporarily. Shortly afterward, he removed his family to America and settled in Hollywood, his 32nd home. With Hollywood studios close by, it was not long before motion picture companies were knocking at Rubinstein’s door. For his first film he received the record sum of $85,000, for three days’ work for putting Rachmaninoff’s Second Concerto on the sound track of Republic’s “I’ve Always Loved You.” Rubinstein scored a personal triumph in the star-studded picture, “Carnegie Hall" in which he appeared on the screen for the first time. Since then he has

In the Fall of 1947, he returned to Europe to concertize for the first time since 1939. An idol before he left the continent, his return was the signal for one of the greatest tributes ever awarded an artist. He played more than thirty- five times to sold-out houses which had to install stage seats and permit stand­ ees. In Paris, his four concerts grossed five million francs, an all-time high for the French city. For his first recital in Rome, a box-office line formed at four o’clock in the morning the day tickets were put on sale. At La Scala, he received a twenty minute ovation. One couple flew to Antwerp, Belgium, from Copen­ hagen, , to hear him. When they heard there were no tickets available,

At the latter city, faced with another sold-out house, they appealed to the pianist who ar­ ranged for them to attend the concert. During the 1955-56 season, the pianist undertook three massive cycles of works for piano and orchestra, encompassing in a series of five concerts, seventeen compositions including all the Brahms and Beethoven concerti, Chopin, Mozart, Grieg, Tchaikowsky, Rachmaninoff, Liszt and Schumann and works by Franck and Falla. Rubinstein played the series in London and Paris during November, 1955, and in New York’s Carnegie Hall performed it in thir­ teen days, beginning on February 7, 1956. In June 1958, Rubinstein returned to his native Poland after a 20-year absence and won from a weeping audience in Warsaw the second standing ovation in Polish history. (The first went to Paderewski.)
