Rachmaninov's Last Student

 I must pass this rather wonderful story on, having found it on Facebook, where Michael Goldfarb (hat-tip) had posted it. 
Rachmaninov's last student has died, in Pennsylvania, at the age of 99, after a nine-decade career.
Follow the link (and check out her Chopin)...

    I have seen too many Carry On films not to assume "Check out her Chopin" is an instruction accompanied by a wink and a nudge. I shall be disappointed if it turns out not to be the case. But that's life. I'll go and look.
