One of the virtuoso pianists of the twentieth century, Horowitz was also a consumate Democrat as evidenced by this check written by secretary Beatrice Stein and signed by the master himself. Only six years before this check was written, Horowitz played at the White House for President Carter. Russian-born Horowitz married Arturo Toscanini's daughter Wanda in 1933 and is buried in the Toscanini family tomb in Milan, Italy. This reproduction would look great in an album or display.
