One of the pieces she played was Schumann's Symphonic Etudes. I will never forget her and the effect her music had upon everyone in the audience. After she finished there was dead silence for at least a minute. People simply couldn't believe their ears. And then arose a roar of appreciation and thunderous applause that seemed to go on and on. I clapped until my hands were sore. She had transported me to another world, and I was transfixed beyond all words. I still remember how wonderful that feeling was--one of the absolute highlights of my life. I would love to tell her just how much that concert meant to me. Her performance filled my soul to overflowing. So if her NY address is still current, I would like to send her a thank you note. Please let me know if her address has changed.<br /> Kathie Maas (78 yrs old) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514977.post-74758341583303986272013-01-19T17:54:17.991-05:002013-01-19T17:54:17.991-05:00I'm hosting Ruth Slenczynska at my college for...I'm hosting Ruth Slenczynska at my college for a series of masterclasses and workshops on Feb. 2 and 3, 2013.

To those who knew him, it was somewhat odd that he managed to get a radio program for himself, interviewing musicians.<br />-PBtobyr21@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478279273433877261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514977.post-50974920392410715812012-03-13T19:38:34.917-04:002012-03-13T19:38:34.917-04:00The "Eddy" to whom you refer was undoubt...The "Eddy" to whom you refer was undoubtedly violinist Eddy Brown, Music Director of station WQXR in New York in that era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514977.post-59812205526113001962012-02-07T01:58:01.990-05:002012-02-07T01:58:01.990-05:00She is in Saratoga, Ca. right now.

I just asked her permission to post her next performance, which will be in San Francisco on 12/11/10. She states: "My next performance in your area will be for Pacific Music Society at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco on Dec. 11th. I'll be playing some Brahms and Chopin on a program with many other participants because the whole thing is a charitable affair." The performance will be in the evening. Anyone interested in attending can contact the Pacific Music Society.sspeaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514977.post-78161474920530774212010-11-01T11:57:56.879-04:002010-11-01T11:57:56.879-04:00And yes, she still is very much alive and well.

While I don't want to give out her phone number, I can't imagine that she would mind receiving a letter from someone interested in her life and her music. She was very gracious to one of my students who recently called her for more information on a class project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514977.post-1965819421121131612010-02-26T11:13:02.329-05:002010-02-26T11:13:02.329-05:00Can I have chance to talk to her!!!
