Signed Photograph

Uncommon signed doubleweight photograph of the great pianist, perhaps the single most prominent and influential piano pedagogue ever to teach in America, inscribed: "To dear Mr. Gaber- wonderful musician and friend- with very best wishes.  1962- Rosina Lhevinne."  A fabulous image of her at the keyboard, with two small holes from a staple to upper left corner, light rippling to upper and lower edges, else fine.  8 x 10 inches (20.3 x 25.4 cm.).

From the collection of George Gaber (1916–2007), noted percussionist who performed with a number of professional ensembles, including the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Baltimore Symphony and worked with Leonard Bernstein, Otto Klemperer, Igor Stravinsky, Henry Mancini, Duke Ellington and many others over the span of his career.  From 1960 to 1986 taught percussion at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and was also an artist in residence at Carnegie Mellon University, an adjudicator for National Music Arts in Japan and the Canadian Music Competition, and a Hall of Fame recipient in Percussion Arts Society.
