Rudolph Ganz at Chicago Musical College
By Gloria Schack

[ Ref. Frank Himpsl in 171224 MMDigest ]

Mr. Ganz was teaching piano in my neighborhood (Northwest side of
Chicago) in the late 1940s.  My mother, who always sought quality,
took lessons from him for about a year.  He must have been at least
a little expensive, because I was taking piano lessons at the same
time in the same school, but from one of the "regular" teachers.
(I think the school was "Chicago Musical College".)

 [ College and its President in 1933, a post in which he remained until
 [ 1954, when the college became a part of Roosevelt University. ...
 [ Dr. Ganz recorded on piano rolls the works of every major composer
 [ as well as his own compositions."  -- Robbie
