Vronsky & Babin, like their friends Bartlett & Robertson, are married. Babin is tall, dark, 29. His wife is 28. They met in Germany where they both studied under Artur Schnabel. In 1931 they first went on tour, married two years later in London...
...young Webster left the Conservatory to go on tour. Since then he has studied under Schnabel in Berlin, played triumphantly through France, England, Holland. Germany, Italy, Russia. Manhattanites first heard him two years ago when he made his debut with the Philharmonic under Werner Janssen. He has played also with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Boston, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Richmond symphonies. Last month he played in the White House after the Cabinet dinner...
...jolly bespectacled Frenchman, known by Philadelphians as one of their regular clarinetists. After Cailliet's Bach came Mozart's Fourth Violin Concerto with Fritz Kreisler as soloist, forerunning such headliners as Josef Hofmann, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Kirsten Flagstad, Vladimir Horowitz, Mischa Levitzki, Jascha Heifetz, Lawrence Tibbett, Artur Schnabel, all sure bait for customers not altogether sure of a youthful new conductor.

The Godowsky piano arrangements were published in "the same way: not as a six-weeks' bestseller...
Last November "Essandess," as Simon & Schuster sign their chirrupy advertisements, came out with the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas newly edited by Pianist Artur Schnabel. Last January the firm hired a music editor, German-born Emil Hilb, who conducted the Denver Philharmonic in 1932-33. Last week Simon & Schuster published "Four Operatic Masterpieces"*-excerpts from Carmen, Faust, Tannhduser, II Trovatore, transcribed for players of average ability by Pianist Leopold Godowsky. Handsomely illustrated and containing notes on opera plots and composers, the venture, if it clears expenses, will belie Simon & Schuster's assertion that music publishing is for them no more...
