Artur Schnabel Quotes


An Austrian classical pianist, who also composed and taught.
Artur Schnabel (April 17, 1882 – August 15, 1951) was an Austrian classical pianist, who also composed and taught. Schnabel was known for his intellectual seriousness as a musician, avoiding pure technical bravura. Among the 20th century's most respected and most important pianists, he displayed a vitality, profundity and spirituality in works by Beethoven and Schubert above all. His performances of these compositions have often been hailed as models of interpretative penetration; and his best-known recordings are those of the Beethoven piano sonatas.

Here are some famous quotes by Artur Schnabel.

The sonatas of Mozart are unique; they are too easy for children and too difficult for artists.
