Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory

The Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory (German: Klindworth-Scharwenka-Konservatorium) was a music institute in Berlin, established in 1893, which for decades (until 1960) was one of the most internationally renowned schools of music. It was formed from the existing schools of music of Xaver Scharwenka and Karl Klindworth, the Scharwenka-Konservatorium and the Klindworth-Musikschule.^[1] The former, with his brother Phillipp, consolidated the two.
