Artur Schnabel (April 17, 1882 – August 15, 1951) was a composer and also a pianist and teacher. His compositions were, in Ernst Krenek's words, "of remarkable and unusual significance." Schnabel was renowned for his seriousness as a musician, avoiding anything resembling pure technical bravura. He was said to have tended to disregard his own technical limitations in pursuit of his musical ideals. However, Schnabel is widely considered to be one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century <a

Quotes
- “Applause is a receipt, not a note of demand.”
- “The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes – ah, that is where the art resides.”
- “I am attracted only to music which I consider to be better than it can be performed. Therefore I feel (rightly or wrongly) that unless a piece of music presents a problem to me, a never-ending problem, it doesn't interest me too much.”
- “Children are given Mozart because of the small quantity of the notes; grown-ups avoid Mozart because of the great quality of the notes.”
- “I know two kinds of audience only – one coughing, and one not coughing.”
