Autograph Musical Quotation inscribed and signed: To Wes Baleria/with best wishes/Gregor Piatigorsky/ 1949. Beneath his signature, Piatigorsky has drawn several musical notes. In 1949, Piatigorsky was finishing up his tenure as head of the cello department at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. When he was not allowed to travel abroad to further his studies, Piatigorsky escaped to Poland and later studied briefly in Berlin and Leipzig before becoming the principal cellist of the Berlin Philharmonic. He made his U. Debut in 1929, playing with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowsi and the New York Philharmonic under Willem Mengelberg. Piatigorsky, who recorded and toured extensively with Arthur Rubinstein and Jascha Heifetz, also enjoyed a successful solo career, bringing the cello to the forefront as a solo instrument. To help to make the cello as facile and expressive as the violin, he transcribed, arranged, composed and commissioned works for the instrument. Piatigorsky moved to America in 1939 and became a U. Citizen three years later. See more material from these signers. See more listings in our MUSIC & PERFORMERS (2,967). Please note that this is an authentically signed item.
