Original doubleweight 8 x 10 inch Fink bust profile photograph of the great pianist, boldly signed and inscribed in white ink to Siegfried Kahn and dated May 18, 1922. Very fine.
The Russian-born Lhevinne was one of the greatest pianists of the Golden Age of piano, celebrated for his astounding technique, style and ease of playing. Married to pianist/teacher Rosina Lhevinne, the couple were famed teachers in New York City where they had their own music school and taught at Juilliard. In the words of Harold Schonberg: "His tone was like the morning stars singing together, his technique was flawless even if measured against the fingers of Hofmann and Rachmaninoff, and his musicianship was sensitive."
Siegfried H. Kahn was a member of the famed New York Bohemian Club and a famous host of musical parties in the 1920s and 30s.
