[29] ARTUR RUBINSTEIN
Born in 1889 in Lodz, Poland, Artur Rubinstein displayed musical talent at the age of three. When five, he gave a concert for charity in Warsaw, and at eight studied with Professor Rozycki. In a few months he had absorbed all that tutelary could pro vide. Then he studied in Berlin and at the age of eleven made his formal debut there. By the time he was fifteen his talents encompassed most of Germany, Poland and Warsaw. Mr. Rubinstein first came to America in 1906 and gave 75 concerts in three months. After leaving this country he gave no concerts for several years. He appeared in Berlin in 1910 after devoting years of incessant study in Paris and to quote him, "to hur dling the greatest obstacle in the path of a prodigy, that of shedding immaturity.” From then on he has continually toured the world. He is the most inter national of all living artists, a friend of royalty and a toast of their courts. In 1946 he became a United States citizen. He is well known to the world through the movies and TV as well as on the concert stage. Howard Taubman has said, "Artur Rubinstein belongs to the grand line of pianists. In an era of violence and neuroticism, he is a shining example of the civilized universal man. His passport is not only music but also his wide culture, his relish for humanity, his capacity for understanding and laughter.” Since 1954 Mr. Rubinstein and his wife Aniela and their four children have made New York their home.
