A self-inflicted hand injury curtailed his career as a concert pianist; his wife, Clara, often performed at the debuts of his works. Former Dover editor David Dutkanicz holds degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, New York University, and Columbia University. He is the editor of several books in this series.
