| Notes |
- The first child in a family of four, Charles was named for his maternal grandfather C.J. von Rosenberg. At an early age he began studying piano and after a year at Baylor University he went to Germany to study with renowned teachers there and in Switzerland. During the late 1930s he had to flee to Paris where he began to concertize, because the Germans were about to occupy the city. He went through Portugal and settled in Morocco where he taught at a boys’ school. Back in America, he studied at the University of California at Los Angeles and received a degree in music. He spoke fluent German, French and Spanish and studied Portuguese and Italian. During the war effort, he worked on a ship in Portsmouth, Virginia. Always he adoringly pursued his music and was recognized as the consummate concert pianist. He was especially remembered for his beautiful interpretation of Chopin, vibrant Liszt and touching Beethoven and Brahms.
