A The youngest of seven children, he showed musical talent at the age of three and was de­ veloped as an infant prodigy. While still a very small child, he was taken to Berlin, where he played for Joseph Joachim. Joachim was much impressed with the boy, and sent him to Heinrich Barth for a full course of piano study. He also received instruction in composition and harmony from Max Bruch and Robert Kahn. He made his first public appearance in Berlin at the age of eleven, playing a concerto of Mozart with Joachim conducting. His extra­ ordinary career as a traveling virtuoso, which Karsh, Ottawa has taken him all over the globe, dates from this occasion. He first visited the United States in 1906. In recent years he has made this country his home. The artist’s active repertoire contains nearly 200 works by 20 composers. In December of 1961, he concluded a series of ten Carnegie Hall recitals during a span of 40 days, devoting all the proceeds to a variety of charities. Artur Rubinstein and George Szell first appeared together more than 30 years ago, at a 1933 concert in Holland, performing Beethoven’s Concerto No. 4. Among their recent collaborations abroad were four concerts of the Concert- gebouw Orchestra in December of 1958. On Dec. 21-22-23, 1961, they appeared together in three concerts of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, during George Szell’s tenure as guest conductor. Mr. Rubinstein’s most recent appearances with The Cleveland Orchestra took place on January 13-14, 1962.
