- Rosina Bessie Lhévinne was a Russian American pianist and famed pedagogue. Rosina Bessie was the daughter of Jacques Bessie, a prosperous jeweler from Dutch Jewish family who had emigrated to the Russian Empire to ply his trade. The young Rosina began studying piano at the age of six with a teacher in Moscow, where the family had moved in the years following her birth. When her teacher became ill, a family friend suggested that she continue her studies with a talented student, five years older than Rosina, from the Moscow Imperial Conservatory, Josef Lhévinne. She showed remarkable talent and several years later she was admitted to the Conservatory herself where, in 1898, she won the Gold Medal in piano. Immediately after graduating she and Josef Lhévinne were married. With his career as a concert pianist already well underway, Rosina vowed that she would give up her own ambitions to be a concert artist and confine her activities to teaching and performing on two pianos with her husband - a vow she kept until her husband's death in 1944. Together they lived and taught in Tbilisi, Georgia and later in Berlin before emigrating after World War I and the Russian Revolution to New York where they joined the faculty of the Institute of Musical Art which later became The Juilliard School. Having acted essentially as a preparatory teacher to her more famous husband's students for 46 years, she felt reluctant after his death to assume his full duties at the school, however Juilliard's administrators were unanimous in wanting her to continue in her husband's place. Among her students were many of the best young pianists of the 1950s and 1960s including Van Cliburn, who arrived in her class in 1951. At the height of the Cold War in 1958 he became the first American to win the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow becoming an instant worldwide celebrity and bringing international fame to his teacher. Other Lhévinne students include James Levine, now Music Director of the Metropolitan Opera and the Boston Symphony, John Williams, composer and conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra, pianists John Browning, Tong-Il Han, Daniel Pollack, Misha Dichter, Edward Auer and many others. After Josef Lhevinne's death she reconsidered her decision never to play in public as a soloist, and in her 70s and 80s she made a series of appearances, first in collaboration with the Juilliard String Quartet, and later in concertos at the Aspen Summer Music Festival. Her greatest moment as a soloist came in January 1963, aged 82, with her debut at the New York Philharmonic under conductor Leonard Bernstein playing the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1, a piece she had performed for her graduation from the Moscow Conservatory sixty-five years earlier. There are recordings of both the Chopin Concerto and Mozart's C Major Concerto, K. 467. Madame Lhevinne continued to teach at the Juilliard School and at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles where she died at age 96. Just prior to her death in 1976, Robert K. Wallace published a book about the Lhévinnes entitled A Century of Music-Making: The Lives of Josef and Rosina Lhévinne. In 2003, Madame Lhevinne's former student and assistant Salome Ramras Arkatov produced a documentary film, The Legacy of Rosina Lhévinne, which contains rare archival footage of Lhévinne's teaching and performing as well as interviews with her former students.

- Розина Яковлевна Левина — американская пианистка и музыкальный педагог российского происхождения. Дочь богатого ювелира, Розина Бесси брала частные уроки фортепиано, и очередным её учителем стал студент Московской консерватории Иосиф Левин, который был старше её на пять лет. В свою очередь и Розина поступила в консерваторию, а в 1898 г. окончила её с золотой медалью, после чего они с Левиным немедленно поженились. С этого времени Розина Левина поклялась отказаться от сольной карьеры и выступать ассистентом мужа в педагогической деятельности, а в концертах выступать лишь в дуэте с мужем, в партии второго фортепиано, — этого самоограничения она придерживалась до смерти Иосифа Левина в 1944 г. В 1907 г. семейство Левиных уехало из России и обосновалось в Берлине, где испытало много тягот в годы Первой мировой войны. В 1919 г. они перебрались в Нью-Йорк, где Иосиф Левин преподавал в Джульярдской школе, а Розина Левина ему ассистировала. После смерти Иосифа Левина руководство Джульярдской школы убедило Розину Левину стать его преемницей, и в последующие годы из класса Левиной вышел целый ряд крупных пианистов; наиболее известным учеником Левиной стал Ван Клиберн, выигравший в 1958 г. Международный конкурс пианистов имени Чайковского — как считается, не в последнюю очередь благодаря любви к русской пианистической школе, которую прививала ему Левина. Среди других учеников Левиной — Ральф Вотапек, Гаррик Олссон, Эдуард Ауэр, Джеймс Ливайн, Урсула Оппенс. В поздние годы Розина Левина иногда выступала и с концертами, а также осуществила ряд записей. В январе 1963 г. в возрасте 82 лет она дебютировала с Нью-Йоркским филармоническим оркестром под руководством Леонарда Бернстайна, исполнив первый фортепианный концерт Фредерика Шопена — тот же самый, который она исполняла в 1898 году на выпускном экзамене в консерватории.
