Lines: 11 -- > (the Austrian pianist Fischer, teacher of Alfred Brendel ?) Edwin Fischer (1886-1960) was actually Swiss, and (as far as I am aware) resided in Switzerland for most of his life. Besides being the teacher of Paul Badura-Skoda, Alfred Brendel, and others, he was one of the great pianists of the century, and should not be tarred with the brush of fascism unless the evidence is compelling. Same goes for Gieseking and Michelangeli. ^ Richard Carnes, ihnp4!gargoyle!carnes
