Rubinstein quotes it in his autobiography "My Young Years." As a born Pole,=
he may easily have learned it from Paderewski through some direct or indir=
ect chain of teachers. It's a good enough quote to be passed on through ma=
ny players and teachers, as your research shows!

p.s. I ran across a quote from the jazz drummer Art Blakey - "Jazz washes a=
way the dust of everyday life.=94

Its origin is:

=93Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.=94 - Berthol=
d Auerbach (German novelist, 1812-1882)

Amazing that a jazz drummer of no great formal education would come across =
this quote and find it meaningful.
