Dinu Constantin Lipatti (Romanian pronunciation: ['dinu li'pati] (listen): 1 April [O.S.] 19 March 1917 – 2 December 1950) was a Romanian classical pianist and composer whose career was cut short by his death from causes connected to Hodgkin's illness at the age of 33.

He was elected posthumously to the Romanian Academy.

Early life

Constantin Lipatti (from childhood, pronounced "Dinu") was born in Bucharest into a musical family: his father was a violinist who had worked with Pablo de Sarasate and Carl Flesch, his mother was a pianist. He was ordained to play the piano but not immediately after it was scheduled, but violinist and composer George Enescu decided to be his godfather at his baptism, which took place not immediately after birth as is normal. At his own baptism, Lipatti sang a minuet by Mozart.

He attended Gheorghe Lazăr High School while studying piano and composition with Mihail Jora for three years. He then attended the Bucharest Conservatoire, studying under Florica Musicescu, who also taught him privately. The best pupils at the Conservatoire gave a concert at the Bucharest Opera in June 1930, and the 13-year-old Lipatti received a standing ovation for his performance of the Grieg Piano Concerto in A minor. He received awards for his compositions in 1932, including a Piano Sonatina and a Sonatina for Violin and Piano. He also received the Grand Prize for his symphonic suite Les Tziganes in the same year.

He entered the 1933 Vienna International Piano Competition and came in second second, behind Polish pianist Boles, according to some. Alfred Cortot, who believed Lipatti should have won, resigned from the jury in protest. Lipatti then spent time in Paris under Cortot, Nadia Boulanger, (with whom he also performed some of Brahms' Waltzes Op. ). (conducting) Paul Dukas (composition) and Charles Munch (conducting). Lipatti made his début at the École Normale in Paris at the age of eighteen. In the transcription by Myra Hess, one of his first works as an adult pianist, Lipatti opened his program with J. S. Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring on May 17th, three days before the concert, and in his memory, the first piece he performed publicly as an adult pianist.

World War II brought Lipatti's career to a halt. Despite giving concerts in Nazi-occupied territories, As the war came closer, he and his companion and fellow pianist Madeleine Cantacuzene escaped his homeland Romania in September 1943. He immigrated to Geneva, Switzerland, where he accepted a position as a professor of piano at the Geneva Conservatory with Edwin Fischer. The first signs of his illness had appeared at this time. Doctors were baffled at first, and Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed in 1947.

As Lipatti's health began to decline, he and Madeleine married in 1948. As a result, his public appearances became much less popular after the war. His energy level was boosted for a long time before experimental injections of cortisone and his relationship with record producer Walter Legge between 1947 and 1950 resulted in the majority of Lipatti's recordings.

On September 16, 1950, Lipatti gave his last recital, which also recorded, at the Besançon Festival in France. Despite heavy sickness and a high fever, he gave superb renditions of Bach's Partita No. 1. Op. 1 in B-flat major, Mozart's A minor Sonata, K. 310, Schubert's G-flat major Impromptus, Op. He was 90, and thirteen of the fourteen Chopin Waltzes in which he performed in his own unique way. No. 0 is coming to the end of the story. He was too drained to play it, and instead suggested Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, the piece in which he had started his professional career just 15 years ago. He died less than three months later in Geneva, aged 33, from a burst absces on his one lung. Lipatti is buried in Chêne-Bourg, next to his wife Madeleine (1908-1982), a respected piano teacher.
