Ruth Slenczynska, piano virtuoso, has died aged 101. She played with several U.S. presidents, was the last surviving pupil of Rachmaninov, and played with full orchestra at age 7.
An amazing woman.

@book What an astounding talent that landed upon her. You know some of that had to be inherent in her DNA. Kudos to such a magnificent lineage.
