Winifred Christie

[2] Christie spent a significant portion of her career promoting the Moór-Duplex piano, a double keyboard with a coupler between the two manuals (an octave apart), invented by Christie’s husband, Hungarian pianist, inventor, and composer Emanuel Moór.

[citation needed] In concert, Christie premiered Edgar Bainton’s Concerto-Fantasia and, in New York, on February 23, 1916, the piano version of Charles Tomlinson Griffes' "The White Peacock" at New York's Punch and Judy Theatre.

[6] In 1946, Christie founded and endowed the Westminster Central Music Library in London, England with a gift of £10,000 as a memorial to her late husband.

[citation needed] There is a scholarship fund in Christie's name, at the Royal Academy of Music in London, given to keyboard students who perform particularly well at audition.
