Martin Krause
Martin Krause (17 June 1853 – 2 August 1918) was a German concert pianist, piano teacher,[1] music critic, and writer. CareerKrause was born in Lobstädt,[1] Saxony as the youngest son of the choirmaster and church schoolmaster Johann Carl Friedrich Krause in Lobstädt. He initially attended the teacher training college in Borna,[citation needed] then at the Leipzig Conservatory with Ernst Ferdinand Wenzel and Carl Reinecke. He performed on the concert platform in 1878–80 but stopped because of a nervous breakdown.[1] In 1882, he became a pupil of Franz Liszt and studied his technique; he was later among Liszt's most prominent promoters.[1] Krause later established himself as a piano teacher and writer on music in Leipzig,[citation needed] where he was one of the founders of the Franz-Liszt-Verein association.[1] From 1900, he also taught in Dresden.[1] From 1901, Krause worked as a professor at the Royal Academy of Music in Munich, and from at least 1896 to 1911[citation needed] at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin.[1] His notable pupils there include Claudio Arrau, Edwin Fischer and Rosita Renard.[1] In addition to his work nurturing the Liszt tradition, Krause was also known for his interpretations of Beethoven's music.[1] A victim of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic,[citation needed] he died in Plattling in 1918.[1] Works
