Gabrilowitsch, Ossip. (1878–1936) & Bauer, Harold. (1873–1951)

Joint Recital Program

One-sheet program from a 1917 recital performed by the two great pianists at Smith College. Top margin slightly torn, one area toned, otherwise fine.

Bauer began as a successful violinist and later had a major career as a pianist. A student of Paderewski, he premiered Debussy's "Children's Corner" and after settling in the US, founded the Beethoven Association and taught for many years at the Manhattan School of Music.

A student of Rubinstein, Lyadov, Glazunov and others, Gabrilowitsch was one of the first to record for the reproducing piano Welte-Mignon (1905) and had a major career as piano soloist. From 1910-14, he was conductor of the Munich Konzertverein and later settled in the US, appointed the founding director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in 1918. In 1909, he married Mark Twain's daughter, Clara Clemens, a singer who appeared with him in recital. (3020)
