ESTABLISHED
The Chickerings played by the
great master, Ltszt, are still given
an honored place in the Royal
Conservatory at Budapest, of
which institution Liszt was
founder and director. Dohnanyi,
pupil of Thoman, v ' o was
(aught b> Liszt himself, was
later director of the Royal Con-
serva:ory and has frequently
played on the same historic
Chickerings. All Hungary re-
gard's Dohnanyi as the true
successor to Liszt.
HNANY
pianist, famed conductor, distinguished composer,
Dohnanyi is a unique figure among the living masters of music.
The great Hungarian is President'Conductor of the Philhar-
monic Society of Budapest. His compositions are played by the
leading musicians of every land. As pianist, the haunting beauty
of his playing has held audiences enthralled since his first public
appearance at the age of nine. His is the soul of a poet, and his
playing is the poetry of music.
Dohnanyi plays the Chickering in his concert and his own
home in Hungary because the Chickering enables him to express
audibly each shade of his inner sense of beauty. In his own
words: "I can express my true self through the Chickering because
it has that colorful tone and so sensitive an action."
This renowned Chickering tone has for more than a century
drawn great artists to America's oldest and most distinguished
piano. Lisz,t played the Chickering; Gottschalk, Thalberg, Von
Biilow, Biisoni, Carreno,and today,Dohnanyi,Dumesnil,Lhevinne,
Mirovitch, Schnitser find only in the Chickering the perfect
medium for the display of their highest artistry.
