He started a piano career at the age of 13, first serving as accompanist to the cellist Pierre Fournier[1] for a few months before appearing in Paris as soloist in three piano concertos. He also studied harmony, counterpoint and composition with Nadia Boulanger[2] whom he eventually succeeded as Director of the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau.[2] He pursued his pianistic career in France, Spain, the Netherlands and Germany until it was interrupted by serious muscular problems in 1953.[1][2]
