San Francisco born pianist and composer Paulena Carter was something of a child prodigy - she started her career as pianist at the tender age of seven, and performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra at age thirteen in 1943. Presented here is a rare recording from the 1949 in which Ms. Carter displays her formidable skills with both Chopin and Liszt.
Apparently she even tutored actress Joan Fontaine in 1950 for a movie roll....
This reel consists of 3 different musical numbers - Just Paulena Carter at her Piano in a darkened room (see pix) - playing her heart out.
1) A composition by Chopin - I didn't catch the title....
