Philip Manuel (1893 – October 6, 1959) was an American pianist, organist, harpsichordist and music educator.
[2] In the spring of 1935, the duo were the first professionals to play Bach's Concerto for Four Harpsichords, BWV 1065, in the United States on this instrument.
He wore pince-nez instead of spectacles, and tended to stick out his tongue during crucial moments of a musical programme.
[5] Manuel and Williamson went to Paris, where they studied for many years with Wanda Landowska and contracted with Pleyel et Cie to produce two instruments for their use.
[2] With these instruments, they initiated concert tours of the United States, and also worked as teachers of harpsichord, piano and voice.
