Jeanne Behrend (1911-1988) was an American pianist, scholar and advocate for American music. She was especially important in preserving and performing American piano repertory.

In the Pristine catalogue she appears in American piano music and in the Harl McDonald series, alongside Rudolph Ganz and other musicians connected with American repertory.

Behrend’s significance lies not simply in performance but in advocacy: giving American keyboard music a place on the page, the platform and the record.

Her page is essential for the American-music strand. Behrend brings scholarship, fingers and quiet missionary fire to the catalogue.
