Charles Rosen was an American pianist and author born as Charles Welles Rosen on May 5, 1927, in New York City. He began receiving musical training at age four and studied at the Juilliard School between the ages of six and eleven. Rosen studied the piano under Moriz Rosenthal and Hedwig Kanner. He earned a PhD in French Literature from Princeton University in 1951 and taught French at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology until 1955. His recording career began with works by Bohuslav Martinů and Joseph Haydn in 1951. Rosen established a concert career after signing with Columbia Artists Management in 1955. His discography included the studio recording Debussy: Études (1958) and recordings of the complete piano works of Pierre Boulez. Rosen achieved professional recognition for his book The Classical Style (1971), for which he received the National Book Award. He died from cancer on December 9, 2012.
