Dinu Lipatti and Clara Haskil

December is the month when both of these Romanian born pianists died.  Lipatti succumbed to leukemia on 1950 December 2 at the age of 33.  Haskil died from a fall at the Brussels train station on 1960 December 7 just shy of her 66th birthday.  They are two of the supreme pianists from the 20th century.
