Concert Pianist and Musical Mentor

Many fans considered Rosina to be one of the great pianists and music educators of the twentieth century. She gave many concerts and made many recordings, including many with her husband, Josef Lhevinne, all over Europe and the United States. Rosina was a mentor, and founding teacher at the Juilliard School of Music, where she taught Van Cliburn, Misha Dichter, James Levine, Garrick Ohlsson, David Bar-Ilan and other well known pianists. After Rosina died in 1976, Robert K. Wallace wrote a book about the Lhévinnes called, "A Century of Music-Making: The Lives of Josef and Rosina Lhévinne." Later in 2003, Salome Ramras Arkatov produced a documentary film, "The Legacy of Rosina Lhévinne."
