Unfortunately, there are those who assume that Karl Ulrich Schnabel was a technical lightweight who only played four hand music with his illustrious father, Artur Schnabel. In fact, his technical equipment was at least equal to that of his father and in certain repertoire may have surpassed it. Early in life, Karl Schnabel decided to devote himself to the neglected four hand music composed by Mozart, Schubert etc. However, he was quite capable of performing solo recitals devoted to the music of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and Liszt, among others. . Here, he plays the fourth movement from the Sonata in E Major Op 6 composed by the 17 year old Felix Mendelssohn.
Karl Schnabel was also an important teacher His students included Leon Fleisher (who also studied with Artur Schnabel), Peter Serkin, Richard Goode and Claude Frank. In later years he was a faculty member of the Manhattan School of Music.
Karl Ulrich Schnabel died in Danbury, Connecticut on August 27, 2001 at the age of 91.

  • A little on the fizzy side but rather delightful.

  • There's a passage here that Wagner seems to have used in one of his operas (it might be hard to point it out, but it's audible).
