after only four years of study, when Leonardi was
eight years old, he played before the entire Russian
Court the Concerto in C major of Beethoven and was
accompanied by the Imperial Symphony Orchestra.
Leonardos father, however, wished his son to ac-
quire a complete education in addition to his music,
so he sent the boy to Paris. There he entered the
Paris Conservatory in 1913. Among his teachers
were Igor Strawinsky for composition and Vincent
d'Indy for conducting. In 1918 Leonardi received the
Grand Prix d'Honneur of the Conservatory and the
first prize in composition. Many other awards were
his during his eight years at the Conservatory.
From 1916 to 1922 the young musician gave 800
concerts throughout Europe. He is the author of an
opera and three symphonic etudes for piano and
orchestra, a poem for the violin, and more than 50
songs and lyric pieces for voice with orchestral
accompaniments.
In his debut at the Academy of Music the noted
pianist attempted some of the most famous piano
classics in the world. It is the interpretation of these
compositions that has gained him his reputation as a
musical genius and has won for him the applause of
the most critical and discriminating of European
audiences.
