{"value"=>"<p>Rosalyn Tureck was born in Chicago on December 14, 1914. She began studying piano at age four, and made recital and orchestral debuts as a child in Chicago. She studied with Jan Chiapusso, and at age 16 she moved to New York to study at the Julliard School with Olga Samaroff. Shortly after graduating from Julliard in 1935, she made her New York orchestral debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra, performing Brahms' Piano Concerto no. 2. Her European debut came in 1947, and for several years after she frequently toured Europe.</p> <p>Tureck was known for her interpretations of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, though she also performed works of contemporary composers, including William Schuman, David Diamond, and Wallingford Riegger, as well as works of composers such as Frederic Chopin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven.</p> <p>Tureck formed a number of groups devoted to the study and performance of Bach's works. In 1957, she founded the Tureck Bach Players, a chamber ensemble. In 1968 she founded the International Bach Society, and in 1981 she founded the Tureck Bach Institute. She also occasionally conducted and, in 1958, became the first woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic.</p> <p>Rosalyn Tureck died in her home in the Bronx on July 17, 2003 at age 88.</p> <p>Sources:</p> <p>Kozinn, Allan. \"Rosalyn Tureck, Pianist Specializing in Bach, Dies at 88: [Obituary (Obit)]\".

{"value"=>"<p>The Rosalyn Tureck collection consists primarily of annotated scores and clippings related to her career as a performer.</p> <p>Most of the scores in the collection (Series I) are for piano, though there are some study scores of vocal or orchestral works, including Beethoven's Symphony no. 7, Monteverdi's <em render=\"italic\">L'Incoronazione di Poppea</em>, and the overture to Mozart's <em render=\"italic\">Le Nozze di Figaro</em>. The collection includes both published and unpublished copies of works, including holograph manuscripts of works by A. C. Aitken, Florenz Michaelis, and David Diamond, whose Piano Sonata (Box 18, Folder 1) was given its world premiere by Tureck in 1948. There are also several photo reproductions of manuscripts, including works by William Schuman, Arthur Berger, Marga Richter, Wallingford Riegger, Ned Rorem and Rudy Shackelford.</p> <p>Scores that contained no annotations were removed from the collection. A list of those items can be found at the end of the container list under Separated Items.</p> <p>The only personal papers within the collection are an autograph book and a tour diary. There are numerous clippings which include reviews of recordings. Some clippings in Swedish and Italian include translations into English. There are also some concert fliers and programs.</p>"}
