Ignaz Friedman (1882-1948)

Friedman was a Polish piano titan, who started as a child prodigy. At the age of 21 he made his debut in Vienna featuring a program of three piano concertos, rivalling the similar programs of established titans like Busoni and Godowsky. His style was quiet and effortless and unique. The great teacher Leschetizky in 1901, advised Friedman to give up any thought of becoming a pianist. As a result Friedman worked all the harder and develop discipline in his playing. Eventually he was recognized as one of the greatest Leschetizky pupils. His many recordings are admired and loved. He composed more than 90 works, mainly piano miniatures, but also pieces for cello and a piano quintet. He edited an almost complete edition of the piano works of Chopin and also produced editions of Schumann and Liszt.
