About Harriet Cohen

Harriet Pearl Alice Cohen CBE (2 December 1895 – 13 November 1967) was a British pianist. She made her debut at a Chappell's Sunday concert at the Queen's Hall a year later. At this stage Cohen also had ambitions to be a composer: her Russian Impressions for piano (composed circa 1913) became her only original compositions to be published.
