Adele Marcus (1906-1995) was an American pianist and teacher. She was born in New York City and began playing the piano at a young age. She studied with renowned pianists such as Josef Hofmann and Sergei Rachmaninoff, and made her debut at Carnegie Hall in 1929.

Marcus had a successful career as a concert pianist, performing with major orchestras and giving recitals throughout the United States and Europe. However, she is perhaps best known for her work as a teacher. She taught at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City, where she was a highly respected professor for over 50 years.

Many of Marcus's students went on to become successful pianists in their own right, including Yefim Bronfman, Richard Goode, Murray Perahia, and Emanuel Ax. Marcus was known for her rigorous teaching style, demanding high levels of technical proficiency and musicality from her students.

In addition to her teaching and performing, Marcus was also a prolific writer on music. She wrote several books, including "Great Pianists Speak for Themselves" and "Pianists on Playing," which feature interviews with renowned pianists discussing their approach to playing the instrument.

Adele Marcus's contributions to the world of music, both as a performer and teacher, have had a lasting impact and continue to influence generations of musicians.
