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.
