Rubinstein returned to Europe to begin his global peregrinations, which have since covered more than two million miles and have taken him to every country in the world except Tibet. In 1946, the most international of all living artists, Rubinstein became a U. S. citizen. He is prouder of the sim­ ple document that officially makes him an American than any of the many decorations and citations he has received from universities and governments. Whenever Rubinstein plays, his concerts evoke unparalleled demonstrations. His appearance in Paris, London, Tel Aviv, Dallas, Chicago have set an all-time record. In Rome, box-office lines have formed at midnight before the morning tickets were put on sale. His historic series of five concerto concerts in Carnegie Hall in the space of thirteen days, sold out long in advance. He has over 50

12 PROGRAM NOTES—Continued long playing titles listed in the current RCA Victor catalogue, the sales of which average a million dollars annually. Mr. Rubinstein has two homes — a house in Paris and an apartment in Manhattan, and after the last concert on his itinerary he rushes to one of them to spend as much time as he can with his family. Said Howard Taubman in the New York Times recently, “Artur Rubinstein belongs to the grand line of pianists. In an era of violence and neuroticism, he is a shining example of the civilized uni­ versal man. Although he is a naturalized American, he is a citizen of the world. His passport is not only .music but also his wide culture, his relish for humanity, his capacity for understanding and laughter.”
