<p> DIED. RILDIA BEE O'BRYAN CLIBURN, 97, piano teacher; in Fort
Worth, Texas. Like her mother and grandmother, Cliburn was a
gifted pianist--she studied with a student of Franz Liszt's--but parental disapproval of a concert career turned her to
teaching. Her most famous pupil: son Van Cliburn, whom she taught
piano from age three to his Juilliard years. In fact, it was
she who taught him Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, the piece
he played in 1958 at Moscow's Tchaikovsky Piano Competition
and for which he won first prize--and instant fame. At a later
Moscow recital, Cliburn had his mother play for an encore-mad
audience. She brought down the house.
