An Interview with Eunice Norton
BY BERNARD JACOBSEN

(continued from part 1)

Born in Minneapolis in 1908, Norton studied at the University of Minnesota with William Lindsay. When Dame Myra Hess visited Minneapolis in 1923, Lindsay had his star pupil play for her, and Dame Myra promptly arranged for the girl to study in England with her own mentor, Tobias Matthay. Very soon the fifteen-year-old had given the first of many recitals at the Wigmore Hall, where her picture was hung in the gallery of regular performers. Her debut with Sir Henry Wood led to a tour with his orchestra throughout Britain. She appeared frequently with Sir Adrian Boult and Sir Hamilton Harty, won the London Bach prize in 1927, and made a triumphal round of such musical centers as Vienna, Paris, The Hague, Moscow, Leningrad, Budapest, and Leipzig, where she appeared with the Gewandhaus Orchestra. A Bach performance, in the course of more than twenty concerts in Berlin, drew praise from the musicologist Alfred Einstein. In Amsterdam, Paderewski was equally impressed by her Chopin, and told her: You will play in all the great halls of the world. Then came the United States: a debut at Carnegie Hall, followed by recitals around the country and concerts with the orchestras of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and her native Minneapolis, with such conductors as Frederick Stock, Fritz Reiner, Leopold Stokowski, Eugene Ormandy, William Steinberg, and Issay Dobrowen.

But among the many virtuosos then making stellar careers, Eunice Norton had the potential for something more special. The trigger that led to her fulfilling it came in 1932, when she heard Artur Schnabel play Beethoven’s opus 110 Sonata in London, and realized that this was the teacher she now needed. She studied with him for three years, first in Germany, and then Italy. Schnabel, she has said, was my last teacher, and therefore often receives the credit for my development. “But I’ve witnessed so many other one- or two-time students of his who have misunderstood and misrepresented his teaching sufficiently that I’ve come to learn that it was Matthay who prepared me to be able to grasp and make use of Schnabel’s teaching. Yet it was finally Schnabel who set my tastes and ideals for a lifetime of artistic pursuit.” That pursuit indeed still continues, in Pittsburgh, where she now lives and teaches, and where, with her late husband, the English-born chemist Bernard Lewis, she set up an important chamber-music series, the Pittsburgh New Friends of Music [now renamed the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Society].

Clearly this would be a woman worth talking to. The program of a typical Eunice Norton recital, given at the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris in 1930, even before her Schnabel years, might strike the casual eye as commonplace enough: a Schubert sonata, Beethoven’s Waldstein, Brahms’ Paganini Variations, three Stravinsky Etudes, and Chopin’s c-sharp-minor Scherzo. But from her various memoirs on tape and in print, and from a telephone conversation I had with her last December, it emerges that nothing could have been more unconventional in the artistic milieu of her youth.
