- Summary
- "Walter Rummel was educated in Berlin and enjoyed a major career from the 1920s until his death in 1953. Claude Debussy called him "the prince of virtuoso," and conductor Willem Mengelberg said he was "one of the greatest pianists I know." Rummel was a window on his time, an American who lived through two world wars in Europe and counted among his friends Ezra Pound, G.B. Shaw, and Queen Elisabeth of Belgium."--Jacket.
