Teresa Carreno

Biography

Teresa Carreno was described as one of the 'captivating' virtuosos whose exacting artistic demands were said to benefit the piano industry. She found great pleasure in playing the Blüthner, Schiedmayer, Weber and Steinway pianos, and gave her endorsement to the Everett piano, calling it 'a distinct achievement in piano construction.' Teresa Carreno is named among the artists of the modern school, alongside Gabrilowitsch and Dr. Otto Neitzel, who were warm in their praise of the Everett concert grand piano designed by John Anderson, valuing it for concert work. No further biographical detail is given about her in this text.
