Wanda Landowska (born Warsaw, July 5, 1879; died Lakeville, CT, Aug 16, 1959), Polish-born keyboard player who moved to Paris in 1900, specializing in performing 17th- and 18th-century keyboard music on the piano; began playing the harpsichord in 1903, since which time she campaigned for the revival of that instrument. She had published her book Musique ancienne in 1909. Correspondence from Landowska to Schenker survives as OJ 12 /33 (1910-11: 4 items). |
