Thanks for posting this to the list. I haven't seen anything in the
NY Times, as yet. I worked for him for a number of years, both here
in NY and once at his home on Lake Como in Italy. He was an
extremely genial man and always able to provide musical insights in his
master classes, even if the student's performance was not the
finest. He was, however, extremely demanding when it came to pedal
regulation, as he used extremely fine gradations of sustain pedal for
coloration. <br>

Karl Ulrich Schnabel Dies <br>

DANBURY, Conn. (AP) - Pianist and music teacher Karl Ulrich Schnabel, the
son <br>
of famed pianist Artur Schnabel, died Monday at his home, his daughter
said. <br>
He was 92. <br>
<br>
Schnabel taught master classes in Europe, Asia and in North and South
<br>
America. He began teaching at age 13, preparing students who wanted to
study <br>
with his father. <br>
<br>
Schnabel's daughter, Ann Mottier, said her father encouraged students to
<br>
achieve the fullest possible understanding of the music they played.
<br>
<br>
Asked once to define beauty in music, Schnabel replied, ``proportion.''
<br>
<br>
Schnabel was born in Berlin in 1909 and began playing piano at age 5. He
<br>
studied with Leonid Kreutzer at the State Academy of Music from 1922 to
1928, <br>
debuting in Berlin in 1926 and appearing with orchestras around the
world. He <br>
was especially interested in music for one piano and two performers.
<br>
<br>
The Schnabels left Germany when Adolf Hitler rose to power and became
<br>
American citizens in 1944. In 1950, Karl Ulrich Schnabel's book, ``Modern
<br>
Technique of the Pedal,'' was published. <br>
<br>
Dedicated to the revival of music for piano duo, he performed first with
his <br>
father then, beginning in 1939, with his American wife, Helen Fogel.
After <br>
her death in 1974, Schnabel formed a new duo with Canadian pianist Joan
<br>
Rowland. <br>
<br>
No funeral services were planned, but tributes are planned at the Berlin
<br>
Festival next month. <br>
