NORMAN FRAUENHEIM
Snapped during a holiday at Sorrento,
Italy.
Marlborough Street and take a
place among the leading pianists
of Pittsburgh. A pupil of
Lazare-Levy in Paris, with intermittent
coaching with Paderewski,
Mr. Frauenheim, it would
seem from London and Continental
newspapers, made an excellent
impression when ever he
played abroad. After his Paris
debut he was hailed by "Figaro"
as a "virtuoso of surpassingbrilliance"
and the "Guide de
Concert" commented on his "remarkable
erudition united to an
impeccable taste." Following a
specially requested recital, given
at the palace in Madrid for the
Infanta Isabella, Queen regent
of Spain and aunt of King Al-
phonso, the "A. B. C." of Madrid
signalized h i s distinguished
playing of Chopin. Mr. Frauenheim
appeared several times in
London, where he was heard
with orchestras, playing in Wigmore
and Grotian Halls. He also
played in the English provinces.
His first London appearance, in
1925, was under the auspices of
the Marchioness of Carisbrooke
and the Prince of Belgium. In
November of 1927 he played at a
reception given in his honor by
Lady Winifred Elwes and the
Marchioness of Butte. Of Mr.
Frauenheim the London Observer
had this to say: "technique
from A to Z—imagination—sensitive
fingers," and the London
"Times" spoke of his great technique
and sense of color, also his
large tone. Mr. Frauenheim is
the son of Mrs. Edward J. Frauenheim.
