Autographed formerly framed 8” x 8” photograph, New York, 1949. The photograph shows a reflection of his hands in motion! The pianist writes, To Marie Sapenter in appreciation of your talent as a musician and integrity as a person… Raieff born in Kharkov Russia in 1906 came to the United States with his parents as a young man. They settled in Chicago where he graduated from the American Conservatory of Music. He came to New York, to the School of Musical Arts, now Juilliard, where he studied with Josef Lehvinne and Alexandre Siloti and later in Germany with Artur Schnabel. He joined the Juilliard faculty in 1945 and performed significantly in the 1950’s, making several sweeps across the Country and several European tours. Eventually he settled as a pedagogue and Chairman of the piano department at Juilliard, where he taught a legion of pianists until 2000. He passed away at 96 in 2002. Some of his pupils included pianists and composers, Jozef Kapusta, Paul Verona, Taka Kigawa, Louis Nagel, Daniel Blumenthal, Wim Statius Muller, Mirian Conti and many more. Slightly rippled, but extremely rare, we have priced accordingly. |
