| Abstract
|
:
|
"Cellist Gregor Piatigorsky's humble beginning in Russia establishes him as the archetype of the struggling artist. The October Revolution forced his escape to Warsaw, where he enjoyed success with the Warsaw Philharmonic. Relocating to Berlin he emerged as solo cellist with the Berlin Philharmonic. This book provides a chronicle of Piatigorsky's life and career"--Provided by publisher.
