Peter Bernhard Feuchtwanger (26 June 1930 – 18 June 2016) was a German pianist, composer, and teacher. He lived for many years in London. Feuchtwanger was born in Munich as the son of a local bank director, Theodore Feuchtwanger (1858–1956). During World War II, the family fled to Haifa. Peter Feuchtwanger was a self-taught pianist who later developed exercises to help pianists learn a natural effortless technique and also help pianists who have physical problems due to their approach to playing. Feuchtwanger's piano teachers included Edwin Fischer and Walter Gieseking, but especially inspiring were the pianist Clara Haskil, who practiced on her concert tours in England with him, and the contralto Kathleen Ferrier. He studied composition with Hans Heimler, Lennox Berkeley and Paul Müller-Zürich . He broke early from a career as a pianist to devote himself to composition and music education. He was a follower of Zen and dealt with music and philosophy from India and the Arab world. His Variation on an Eastern Folk Tune (Books 1 and 2) won first prize at the Viotti International Music Competition in 1959. More information...
