beeride WEBSTER

one of today’s outstanding keyboard masters

was born of musical parents in Pittsburgh, Pa., fifteen years after
his father founded the Pittsburgh Conservatory of Music in 1893.
As the fulfillment of an urgent childish wish, he was given
his first music lesson for a Christmas present at the age of five.
It was discovered very soon that he had absolute pitch, excep-
tional sight-reading ability, and rare keyboard facility.

When he was thirteen the family moved to Paris, where
Beveridge, together with his brother and sister, studied with
Isidor Philipp. The following year he won the first prize in
piano at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau and
eventually he became the first American to win first prize in
piano at the Paris Conservatoire. As a crowning experience
he began a long course in the interpretation of the great German
masters with Artur Schnabel in Berlin.

It was not until 1934 that Webster made his first important
appearance in America soloist with the New York Phil-
harmonic under’ Werner Janssen in an all-American program.
Since then he has played with the major American orchestras
under various conductors including Klemperer, Koussevitzky,
Ormandy, Monteux, Reiner, Golschmann, and Stravinsky. Like
other top-rank soloists, he has devoted some time to the play-
ing of chamber music and to teaching the rising generation of
pianists—as a distinguished member of the faculty at the
Juilliard Graduate School of Music in New York.

His repertoire is enormous, comprising virtually all the great
masterpieces of the past, as well as a discerning selection of
moderns. Many contemporary works owe their first perform-
ances to him.

During the past year Webster played a series of New York
recitals with programs ranging from Bach and Beethoven to
Bartok and Schoenberg—a prodigious feat of musicianship and
a sensational success. A similar series of three Town Hall
recitals is planned for the current season, and bids fair to
become an annual event.
