comment: Entered from New York Times article; stated time is approximate. The Leventritt Foundation was established in 1939 in memory of Edgar M. Leventritt; this was the first competition. Each of the 9 finalists performed a concerto of their choice (with second piano support) and also a solo number. Sidney Foster won the competition. "Sidney Foster Wins the Leventritt Prize."
