THE death was announced in New York the other day of Moriz Rosenthal, the famous Polish pianist, aged 83. He made his formal debut in Vienna when he was 14, and a year later became a pupil of Liszt. When he was 18 he went to the University of Vienna for six years, devoting himself to philosophical studies. Then he began touring Europe, America, and England. He is said to have taken with him, wherever he went, a mute piano (a keyboard for practising without sound) and to have kept himself fit with ji jitsu. Rosenthal celebrated the 50th anniversary of his American debut with a recital in New York in 1938. Our photograph of him was taken in Paris, and is reproduced from an old postcard.
