Hi,
I heard a beautiful and well played piece tonight by a woman named Kaflak/Kavlak (sp?) on a major NYC station. Can you i.d. her for me? She was playing a magnificent neo-classical number called Concertine. I was hoping to tell my mom about it as I thought the work was perfect for her repetoire.

I thought you might be interested to know that my mom Roslyn Schiff was a student of Constance Keen and her then husband Abrahm Chasins. She was the sole protege of Anatole Kitain as well. I finally got her recorded at the age of 68 a couple years ago- I'd be happy to send it to you!

Thanks much,
Warren Keller

Editorial Note: After looking in George Kehler's The Piano in Concert (which has hundreds of detailed listings), and Women in music: an encyclopedic biobibliography by Hixon and Hennessee, we were unable to find a pianist with a name close to Kaflak, etc. Perhaps a reader will know this information -- if so, email the editor and we will forward it.

On http://www.pianowomen.com/yesterday.html you write:
>Josephine von Aurnhammer (b. Vienna, Sept. 25, 1758; d. Jan. 30, 1820)
>Barbara von Ployer (b. Austria, 1770-90?)

A few corrections:
Auernhammer was no "von" and neither was Ployer who died in 1810 in Bresane/Croatia.

Best regards,
Michael Lorenz

Dear Lady,
I would like to suggest to add the name of the more than eminent British concert pianist Joyce Hatto to your list, even thought there is no web page for her (and it seems it is not intended to be made). However, Joyce Hatto is one of the greatest concert pianists and teachers Britain has produced ever (does it say enough that Christian Zimerman has several of his pupils coached by Hatto??). In case you need more information I could easily tell you.

thanks and best regards,
Peter Sulman

Hi, a little correction. Pianist Zhou Guangren's name should be placed like Guanren Zhou or Zhou, Guangren 'cause Zhou is her last name. Thanks, a student

Subj: Re: last name

From: PianoWomenEditor

Thank you for your interest in "Women at the Piano". I appreciate your information on Guangren Zhou's name. I was copying the way it was originally presented in the Van Cliburn jury bio's, but since your letter I noticed that her bio in the Horowitz Young Pianists Competition does list her name with Zhou last.

Thank you for also helping to keep information on the web accurate,
Sincerely,

What a wonderful site.
One omission from your list is Madeline Schiller, 1845, London; d. July 3, 1911, New York City. She played the premiere of the Tchaikovsky 2nd Piano Concerto, was at one time the girl-friend of Arthur Sullivan, while they were students at Leipzig, was a major figure in the US during the period 1873-1900.
