An original black-and-white portrait photograph of the renowned Polish harpsichordist, shown seated outside in a white dress.

Wanda Landowska's performances, recordings, and writings were essential to reviving the popularity of the harpsichord in the early twentieth century. She was the very first person to record Bach's Goldberg Variations on the harpsichord, studied and collected antique instruments, and had works composed for her by de Falla and Poulenc. An influential teacher, she also taught at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik and the Curtis Institute of Music.

Sold together with a small pamphlet announcing a concert series of Landowska's first student, Alice Ehlers. The pamphlet folds out for a total of six pages, the inner three of which contain quotations from various international press praising Ehlers' playing.

Alice Ehlers was an Austrian-born harpsichordist who studied piano with Theodor Leschetizky, music theory with Arnold Schoenberg, and harpsichord with Wanda Landowska. She was never deterred by the challenges of touring with such a cumbersome instrument and, in addition to the usual tours across Europe and America, she managed to concertize in Palestine, Russia, and South America. Ehlers gave recitals well into her eighties and became known especially for her interpretations of J. S. Bach's music.
