Marguerite Long, the most important French woman pianist of our century, left her stamp on a whole epoch of musical life in Paris. Long was a virtuoso performer—working closely with Debussy, Fauré, and Ravel—and a tireless and demanding pedagogue. With violinist Jacques Thibaud, she founded a prestigious international competition that continues to launch the careers of young musicians. Illustrated.
CECILIA DUNOYER is Education Coordinator at the Center for Performing Arts at Pennsylvania State University. She combines the careers of pianist and scholar, giving lecture-recitals on French and Russian music and concertizing in both Europe and America.
