Über den Autor


Alfred Brendel studied piano and composition in Zagreb and Graz, completing his piano studies with Edwin Fischer, Paul Baumgartner and Eduard Steuermann. For sixty years he enjoyed a distinguished international career, concentrating on the works of central European composers, performing regularly with the world's leading orchestras and conductors. His final concert appearance was with the Vienna Philharmonic on 18 December 2008, which was voted one of the 100 greatest cultural moments of the decade by the Daily Telegraph. Besides music, literature has remained Brendel's foremost interest and second occupation. As well as three volumes of collected essays, there are also multiple collections of poems, two of which, One Finger Too Many and Cursing Bagels, appeared in the Faber Poetry Series. A bilingual edition of collected poems, Playing the Human Game, was published in 2010. Brendel continues to give lectures, poetry readings and masterclasses throughout the world and, having lived in Vienna for twenty years, has made his home in London since 1970.
