Description: Fascinating story of Rubenstein's early life, beginning with his earliest recollections and ending (rather abruptly) in the middle of World War I. It's a little hard to believe that after 50 or 60 years he could remember everyone's name (and even the food he ate!). By the end of the book, not yet 30, he has played for kings and queens, met artists and composers, lots of rich people traveled throughout Europe, to America, and to Argentina, made dozens of lifelong friends. There is of course quite a bit about his early piano studies and concert career as well, but this is not a book to learn about his approach to playing the piano. He does admit to using the pedal to cover up the difficult passages when he hadn't studied or practiced long enough, but as a performer, he still seems to have won over just about everyone he met.
