Theodor Leschetizky (June 22, 1830 - November 14, 1915) was a Polish pianist, teacher and composer.
Leschetizky was also a composer, having under his name over seventy piano pieces, two operas, several songs, and a one-movement piano concerto.
Leschetizky heard him when he was about twenty years old and was amazed by "that cantabile, a legato such as [he] had not dreamed possible on the piano, a human voice rising above the sustaining harmonies!" Leschetizky then tried very hard to find that touch which produced such beautiful tones.

 Theodor Leschetizky
Leschetizky was a famous pianist and composer in the nineteenth century, but he became especially well-known as a piano teacher.
Leschetizky started teaching when he was still fairly young (probably at the age of fourteen) and was surrounded by students throughout his life.
Leschetizky certainly believed in and used a method about how the best basic technique is achieved (as we can see for example in his approval of Bree's manual).

 Artur Schnabel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, Schnabel is widely considered to be one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, whose vitality, profundity and spiritual penetration in his playing of works by Beethoven and Schubert, in particular, have seldom if ever been surpassed.
Born in Lipnik, Poland, Schnabel studied piano from the age of seven in Vienna under Theodor Leschetizky who said to him "You will never be a pianist.
You are a musician." Schnabel took these words to heart, and rather than playing the showy virtuoso pieces by composers like Franz Liszt which were popular in the late 19th century, he chose to concentrate on Germanic classics by Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.

Here are some teaching remarks by Leschetizky: "Sit at the piano unconstrained and erect, like a good horseman on his horse, and yield to the movements of the arms as far as necessary, as the rider yields to the movement of his horse.

Legendary artists such as Nicholas and Anton Rubinstein, Leschetizky, and Debussy are still familiar, living presences: their direct influence on the Hambourg family is attested to in the writings, reminiscences, and playing of Mark and Michal Hambourg.
Leschetizky had been trained by Carl Czerny, a pupil of Beethoven; he often shared Czerny's comments on Beethoven with his students.

Theodor Leschetizky (1830 1915), pianist, piano teacher and composer was one of the most dazzling musical figures of the 19th and the start of the 20th century.
Musically speaking, Leschetizky stands totally in the tradition of the 19th century where the dividing line between reproductive and productive artists was much less evident than today.
The fact that pianists were also composers was quite normal in those times and Leschetizky’s work is to be seen in this context.
