- BiografÃa breve
- Artur Schnabel was born Aaron Schnabel to a Jewish family in Lipnik, Austro-Hungarian Empire (present-day Poland). His parents were Ernestine Taube and Isidor Schnabel, a textile merchant. In 1884, the family moved to Vienna for more educational opportunities for the children. Schnabel had a natural gift for music and began learning to play the piano at age four. By the age of six, he was taking lessons at the Vienna Conservatory (today the University of Music and Performing Arts). Schnabel made his official concert debut at age 15 in 1897 in Vienna. The following year, he moved to Berlin, his home for the next 33 years. He initially became famous thanks to concerts he gave under the conductor Arthur Nikisch as well as playing in chamber music and accompanying his future wife, the contralto Therese Behr, in Lieder. After World War I, Schnabel toured widely, visiting the USA, Russia, and England. He worked with many of the greatest string players of his day in chamber music and formed several ensembles with Flesch, Becker, Casals, Feuermann, Fournier, Hindemith, Huberman, Piatigorsky, Primrose, and Szigeti. He was a friend of and played with the most distinguished conductors of the day, including Furtwängler, Walter, Klemperer, Szell, and Boult. His performances and recordings made him a legend in his own time. Schnabel also devoted much of his time to teaching. From 1925 to 1931, he was a professor at the Berlin State Academy, and gave master classes in Italy and in the USA. After the Nazi Party rose to power in 1933, Schnabel and his family went into exile in England and Italy before moving to the USA in 1939. There he took a teaching post at the University of Michigan. At the end of World War II, he went to live in Axenstein, Switzerland. His writings included Reflections on Music (1934), Music and the Line of Most Resistance (1942, expanded 2007), and My Life and Music (1961), later published as Music, Wit, and Wisdom, a volume of 12 autobiographical speeches addressed to music students at the University of Chicago.
