Joseph Rubinstein
Joseph Rubinstein was a talented pianist and a prominent figure in the Bayreuth music scene during Wagner's lifetime. Despite his close association with Wagner and his high status as a house pianist, Rubinstein struggled with Wagner's overt antisemitism, which ultimately led to his tragic decision to end his life in 1884. His story highlights the personal toll of grappling with the legacies of artists whose views starkly conflicted with one's own identity.
