Scarce autographed quarto testimonial by the American concert pianist June, 13, 1953. The pianist (1898-1975) was born in St. Louis. He concertized extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe, making his Carnegie Hall debut on 21 January, 1925. He also toured with John McCormack as solo pianist in 1924, but not his accompanist. Deering would play solo works alternating with McCormack. Settling in California, he played the California premier of Rchmaninov’s 2nd piano concerto with Alfred Hertz and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. A Steinway artist, he was asked as many were to write a statement upon the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the House of Steinway. June 13, 1953 Dear Theodore Steinway - As there is no other piano than a Steinway, and the very reminder of it seems superfluous, I can only add my congratulations to those of all other artists - to you, the descendant of the founder of the house. To you - who have devoted your energies to the service of music. Henri Deering
