THEODOR LESCHETIZKY, ORIGINAL NAME TEODOR
LESZETYCKI (JUNE 22, 1830, ŁAŃCUT, POLAND, AUSTRIAN EMPIRE [NOW IN POLAND] —
NOVEMBER 14, 1915, DRESDEN, GERMANY)
Polish pianist and teacher who,
with Franz Liszt, was the most influential teacher of piano of his time. Leschetizky
studied under Carl Czerny in Vienna and thus was linked indirectly with the
playing of Czerny’s teacher, Ludwig van Beethoven. In 1852 he went to St.
Petersburg as a pianist and teacher. From 1878 he taught in Vienna. As one of
the great pianists of the Romantic era, he approached the printed note with a
certain amount of freedom. As a teacher, he stressed thorough understanding of
the music, absolutely sound technique, and, above all, beauty of tone. Although
the celebrated “Leschetizky method” of teaching was much discussed, he himself
claimed to have no fixed method, and his students affirmed that he developed
the individual characteristics of each student. His pupils included many of the
leading pianists of the 19th and early 20th centuries, among them Artur
Schnabel, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, and Ignacy Paderewski.
