Karl Czerny

 

From THEODORE LESCHETIZKY, 1903 by Angèle Potocka

'Count Alfred [Potocki] gave great personal care and attention to the education of his children ; and believing that his daughters had attained an age when their musical studies required the guidance of an expert teacher, he applied to the great pedagogue Karl Czerny, requesting him to send one of his best pupils as music-master to the young countesses. Czerny recommended Leschetizky, strongly advising the latter to accept the situation, at least for the summer. Josef Leschetizky, father of Theodore Leschetizky, . . . (etc).'

From The Legacy of Leschetizky, August 1945 by Paul Wittgenstein

How rarely has any teacher since Czerny (who was his own master) formed so many celebrated pupils as my old master Leschetizky !  From Essipoff to Paderewski, from Brailowsky to Schnabel and Gabrilowitsch, to name only the most prominent of all.

Musical Courier, August 1945, page 13.
