Kapell, William. (1922-1953)

Signed Photograph

Signed photograph of the great pianist whose flourishing career was cut tragically short by a plane crash on the way back from Australia. Copland wrote of him: “ I cannot conceive of his ever having given a dull performance – an erratic one, perhaps, a misguided or stylistically incongruous one maybe, but invariably one that was electric and alive.”

8 x 10 inch glossy photograph of the pianist, boldly signed and inscribed on July 29, 1951. Corners creased and chipped, a few small tears to margins otherwise good. (7048)
