Florica Musicescu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Florica Musicescu (born 1887 in Iaşi, died 1969 in Bucharest) was a renowned Romanian pianist and musical pedagogue.
She taught piano music for many decades at the Bucharest Conservatoire (also known as Royal Music Academy prior to World War II). For her masterful guidance and mentorship, she is considered to be one of the founders of the legendary Romanian School of Piano Music. Many of the famous pianists of the 20th century emerged from this school: the legendary Dinu Lipatti and Radu Lupu, but also world-class musicians like Madeleine Cantacuzene, Paul Dan, Sorin Enăchescu, Mihai Brediceanu, Svetla Protich, Marietta Orlov, Myriam Marbe, Mindru Katz, Tamás Vesmás and Shulamith Shapira.
