Arturo Toscanini (25 March 1867, Parma — 16 January 1957, New York, USA) was a distinguished Italian conductor often cited among the greatest maestros of the late XIX—early XX century. He was the father of choreographer Walter Toscanini (1898—1971) and Wanda Toscanini (1907—1998), who later married pianist Vladimir Horowitz, and grandfather of architect Walfredo Toscanini (1929—2011) and photographer Sonia Toscanini Horowitz (1934—1975). Toscanini began as a cellist, studying under Carini Severino Leandro (1834—1910) and Giusto Dacci (1840—1915) on a scholarship at Parma Conservatory. In June 1886, shortly after graduation, 19-year-old Arturo had a highly unorthodox debut at the rostrum.
