Arthur Greene is an American pianist and educator.

Career

Greene won gold medals at both the 1978 Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition and the William Kapell International Piano Competition. [1] The Washington Post'' wrote "For 99 out of every 100 contestants in a competition, playing the Brahms B-flat would be a mistake. It is an enormous challenge, and is really meant to be played only by the masters. But Arthur Greene assumed the risk and won - in more ways than one. It was a virtuoso reading. But that was not what mattered most about it. For above all one was conscious throughout that here was a profound musician - one of intense concentration and seriousness of purpose." [2]
