	Earl Wild is a pianist in the grand Romantic tradition. Considered by many to be the last of the great Romantic pianists, this eminent musician is known internationally as one of the last in a long line of virtuoso pianist/composers. Earl Wild has been a legendary figure, performing throughout the world for over seven decades. Born in Pittsburgh in 1915, Earl Wild has received major recognition numerous times in his long career. He was included in the Philips Records series, "The Great Pianists of the 20th Century," with a double disc devoted exclusively to piano transcriptions. He has been featured on two separate occasions in TIME magazine; the most recent being in December 2000, honoring his eighty-fifth birthday. One of only a handful of living pianists to merit an entry in "The Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians," Earl Wild is described as a pianist whose technique "is able to encompass even the most difficult virtuoso works with apparent ease."
