Schnabel, Artur. (1882-1951)

Signed Photograph

Original signed photograph of the Austrian/American pianist whose Schubert and Beethoven recordings are beyond compare. Matte-finish 3.25 x 5.25 real photo postcard of Schnabel, signed at the bottom in black ink, “Artur Schnabel, 1-Febr-1912.” A few edge dings and silvering to dark areas of the image, otherwise fine condition. Originates from the collection of American violinist and pianist Louis Persinger (1887–1966), who trained at the Leipzig Conservatory and later taught at Juilliard, mentoring the likes of Yehudi Menuhin, Ruggiero Ricci, and Isaac Stern.


Good signed photographs of Schnabel are elusive.His teacher, Theodor Leschetizky, once told him: “You will never be a pianist. You are a musician.” (11011)
