OBITUARY: Rosalyn Tureck, R.I.P

National Review, August 11, 2003

Meanwhile, I had got to the last page of her 600-page book. It ends, "I gave a talk on my eightieth birthday to the North American nations which was aired from Washington, D.C., telephoned from London, in which I spoke of my musical development, and ended with the words, 'I am still growing.' Today, almost eight years later, I still can say, with equal conviction, I am still growing." I, a mere listener, know what she meant by that, while doubting there is anywhere to grow in the art she developed in playing Sebastian Bach.
