Students will recognize this portrait that hangs on the wall of the studio.

But who is this lovely woman? She is none other than the great Rosalyn Tureck. Rosalyn was a genius whose primary focus was the work of J.S. Bach. Although she is remembered above all for her brilliant recordings of the Goldberg Variations, Partitas, and both books of The Well-Tempered Clavier, Tureck was also a brilliant intellect and wrote much about Bach, music, and a host of other topics. A catalog of her writings can be found here:

Enjoy this clip of Rosalyn discussing the contrast between the compositional styles of Bach and Chopin, which she demonstrates on a Steinway as well as a super cool Polymoog synthesizer!
