A CHOICE COPY
Rudolph Ganz (born 24 February 1877 in Zurich, Switzerland, died 2 August 1972 in Chicago, USA) was a Swiss pianist, conductor and composer. He claimed direct descent from Charlemagne.
A pupil of Busoni in Berlin, he became head of piano studies at the Chicago Musical College in 1901.
From 1921 to 1927 he was the conductor of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and did much to raise it to the top rank of orchestras. From 1928 he returned to teach at the Chicago Musical College, serving as its president from 1934 to 1958.
He was active in the promotion of new music throughout his career - in 1923 he received the French Legion of Honour for introducing the works of Debussy and Ravel to American audiences, and in later years he performed and conducted pieces by Boulez, John Cage and Honegger.
His pupils included the influential piano teacher and theorist

Quick noteon grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don\'t give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
\"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET\" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
\"VERY QUIET\" is anabove averagequiet record for a given pressing.
\"Quiet\" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
