by Rebecca P. Shockley (Author), Dorothy Stolzenbach Payne (Author)
Dorothy Stolzenbach Payne was a legendary piano teacher. For years she taught students of all ages and levels, including adults, in her Cincinnati studio, often incorporating group and class instruction. A superb pianist, she performed regularly in solo and chamber music and as symphony pianist. She founded the Keyboard Club in 1935, and she and her husband, violinist Karl Payne, raised three children, who all became musicians. She enjoyed friendships with many famous musicians, including Percy Grainger and Vronsky and Babin. In this newly revised and expanded edition of her memoirs, her daughter Rebecca Shockley has added new stories and photos to provide a more complete portrait of her mother and her lasting legacy.
