Rare 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.” Boldly signed below his photograph on the cover of a 1945 Carnegie Hall recital program. In very fine condition, 19.6 X 26 cm.
