Probably unpublished. “In 1936 he was appointed conductor of the Rochester PO, a post he

held for several seasons. His connection with films began when his fingers impersonated

Chopin’s in A Song to Remember; he then appeared in several more films. He was the most

famous Spanish pianist of his day, with a large popular following; in 1950 he became the first

classical musician whose sales of a single record exceeded a million copies. Some critics held

reservations about his Beethoven and Chopin, but his playing of the music of his native land

was idiomatic, ebullient and vital. Iturbi composed a number of pieces in a Spanish idiom,

including the Pequeña danza española for piano and a Seguidillas for orchestra” (Grove
