Rudolf Firkušný (Czech: ; 11 February 1912 – 19 July 1994) was a Czech-born, Czech-American classical pianist. Born in Moravian town Napajedla, Firkušný started his musical studies with the composers Leoš Janáček and Josef Suk, and the pianist Vilém Kurz. Later he studied with the legendary pianists Alfred Cortot and Artur Schnabel.
The marvellous Czech pianist Rudolf Firkušný was born on this day in 1912. His elegance and refinement were so omnipresent that one might have expected his readings to lack power and warmth but that is anything but the case (he left towering readings of the Emperor and Brahms D Minor Concertos)
