Frederick Steinway resigns from Steinway & Sons, and launches an artists management firm together with Arthur Judson, his partner Ruth O’Neill, and former Boston Symphony Orchestra Press and Publicity manager Harry Beall. (After a while, Frederick Steinway will resign from that organization, too, and will become an executive director of the fine arts center at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. His later attempt to return to work for Steinway & Sons will be blocked by his older brother Henry Z. Steinway.)
