Ethel Newcomb

Ethel Newcomb (October 30, 1875 – July 3, 1959) was an American pianist. A pupil of Theodor Leschetizky, she became a successful soloist and ensemble performer across Europe and the United States during the early 1900s. Respected for her interpretations of the work of Beethoven, she was reportedly sought out as a mentor herself by students from across the globe after she opened her own music studio in New York prior to World War I. In 1921, she recounted her experiences with her mentor via her book, Leschetizky as I Knew Him.
