  • Arthur Friedheim was a Russian-born pianist, conductor and composer who was one of Franz Liszt's foremost pupils. Friedheim was born in Saint Petersburg in 1859. He began serious study of music at age eight. He later studied for a year with noted pianist Anton Rubinstein but disapproved of Rubinstein's disorganized teaching methods and went instead to Liszt. At first Liszt did not like Friedheim's playing, though he admitted the individuality of Friedheim's style. Harold C. Schonberg asserts in his book The Great Pianists that another reason Liszt may have been hesitant was because Friedheim had studied with Rubinstein, of whom Liszt may not have been terribly fond. Friedheim had to play before Liszt several times before becoming accepted as a pupil in 1880. Liszt eventually became fond enough of Friedheim to make him his secretary. Friedheim became fond enough of Liszt to copy many of his mannerisms, many of which were noted by pianist and composer Ferruccio Busoni after hearing him play in 1883. Friedheim also gained orchestral experience conducting in theaters and opera houses in Germany. Between 1891 and 1895 Friedheim taught and played in the United States. After that he spent some time in London and until 1904 taught at the Manchester College of Music. He conducted in Munich from 1908 to 1911, settled in the United States in 1915 before going to Toronto, Canada, in 1921 to become a professor at the Canadian Academy of Music. Before then, he was offered the conductorship of the New York Philharmonic in 1898 and 1911. He was a good conductor but turned down the offer both times, preferring to concentrate on the piano. He died in New York City in 1932. Friedheim wrote a psychological study of Liszt and many reminiscences, which were collected by his pupil Theodore Bullock under the title Life and Liszt. Along with editing the works of Frédéric Chopin, Friedheim wrote a number of works, although few of them were published and many of the manuscripts are now lost. His operas include The Last Days of Pompeii (not performed), Alexander and Thais and Die Tanzerin; two others, The Christmas and Giulia Gonzaga, were left unfinished. He wrote two piano concertos, an orchestral overture A Hero of our Times and a march E pluribus unum. Friedheim's pianism was considered awesome technically but he was most noted for the clarity and repose in his interpretations of Liszt's music. Unfortunately, the best qualities of his playing only survive in a fragmentary manner in the few gramophone recordings he made. He made three recordings for Columbia around 1912. One of these is considered a curiosity—a rendition of the funeral march from Chopin's Second Piano Sonata in which Friedheim plays to the end of the trio and, having no more room on the record, simply stops. He was apparently content to record just two-thirds of the piece. One of Friedheim's students was Rildia Bee O'Bryan Cliburn, the mother of the 20th century piano virtuoso Van Cliburn.

  • Arthur Friedheim foi um pianista russo. Com 9 anos, apresentou-se pela primeira vez em público, tocando um concerto de John Field. Em seguida, tornou-se aluno de Carl Siecke, e finalmente, de Anton Rubinstein. Estudou filosofia na Universidade de São Petersburgo. Após quatro anos de proveitosos estudos com Rubinstein, viajou para Weimar, onde encontrou Liszt. Discípulo fiel de Liszt, Friedheim dedicava seis a sete horas diárias ao estudo do piano. Liszt por várias vezes elogiou o jovem Friedheim, que em 1891 já havia mostrado talento como compositor, como ficou provado em seu Concerto nº1 para piano e orquestra. A obra seria apresentada na inauguração do Carnegie Hall, em 1891, o que nunca ocorreu, pois o regente da Filarmônica de Nova Iorque, Walter Damrosch, preferiu o Concerto nº1 de Tchaikovsky. Decepcionado, Friedheim embarcou em uma turnê americana, onde brilhou como grande virtuose. Intelectual e inclinado à filosofia de Schopenhauer, mostrava-se por vezes um pouco pessimista. Seu repertório incluía composições de Beethoven, Chopin, Balakirev e principalmente Liszt. Arthur Friedheim foi o autor de um livro sobre Liszt: 'Life and Liszt'.
