From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emil George Conrad von Sauer (October 8, 1862 in Hamburg – April 27, 1942 in Vienna) was a historicaly notable German composer, pianist, score editor, and music (piano)teacher. He was a pupil of Franz Liszt and one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation, emphisizing the original Franz Liszt approach to pianism as well as a strong Romantic approach to a musical technique that demanded a total command of the keyboard in what was known as the Liszt School of piano. Some of his pupils continued on to successful concert careers including Webster Aitken, Stefan Askenase, Ignace Hilsberg, Maryla Jonas, Lubka Kolessa, Elly Ney, Ozan Marsh, Dario Raucea, and Marie Aimée Varro. Sauer was married two times. Angelica Morales(Sauer), his second wife carried on a legacy in teaching to his name. Sauer had two sons with Morales—Julio and Franz.
He wrote piano concertos, piano sonatas, concert études, piano pieces and Lieder.
