Elvira Szigeti, Claude Frank and Nadia Reisenberg at the Mannes College
of Music and with Rudolph Serkin at the Curtis Institute. Mr. Goode

Mr. Goode's interpretation of Beethoven came to national attention

David Zinman and during the 1987-88 season when he performed the
complete cycle of piano sonatas at New York's 92nd Street "Y".
Mr. Goode has made more than two dozen recordings, and is the first American-born
pianist to have recored the complete Beethoven sonatas.
