Woman of the Century — Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler (1893)
“ In 1882 she made her debut in Vienna, where she carried the musical public by storm. Although one of the youngest pianists before the public, she was at once ranked with the foremost in all the essentials that make a great piano virtuoso. After furthur study she returned to the United States, and made her debut in this country in a concert of the Chicago Beethoven Society, 11th January, 1884. There was but one verdict, and it confirmed that of Vienna, classing the young player with the most eminent of living pianists. ”
