Belgian French Music | Piano White No known disability No known religious affiliation Unknown Michel Block was a Belgian-French pianist. In one of the most famous of all competition incidents, Block won the Arthur Rubinstein Prize in Warsaw at the VI International Chopin Piano Competition in 1960. As a contestant in that year's competition, he was only placed eleventh. Outraged with this result, Arthur Rubinstein created a special prize bearing his name on the spot, which carried with it the money corresponding to the second prize, and awarded it to Block. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Block (2023) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHdroberts 3/25/2014 RAHAKIRKBRIDE 6/3/2025 2ea04a1b-5aca-4e49-81a1-3d5f62456602
