About
Artur Schnabel was born in Lipnik near Bielitz, Galicia. He was an Austrian classical pianist, who also composed and taught.

Among the 20th century's most respected and most important pianists, his playing displayed marked vitality, profundity and spirituality in the Austro-German classics, particularly the works of Beethoven and Schubert. 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.
