Rubenstein, Anton Grigorevich. Cabinet photograph signed ("A. G. Rubenstein"), (6.75 x 4.37 in.; 171 x 111 mm.); light browning marginal chipping, verso affixed to glass. A fine signed photograph. A Russian pianist, composer and conductor, Anton Grigorevich Rubinstein became a pivotal figure in Russian culture when he founded the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. He was the elder brother of Nikolai Rubinstein who founded the Moscow Conservatory. As a pianist, Rubinstein ranks amongst the great nineteenth century keyboard virtuosos. He became most famous for his series of historical recitals-seven enormous, consecutive concerts covering the history of piano music. Rubinstein played this series throughout Russia and Eastern Europe and in the United States when he toured there.
