Why Is Frits Hartvigson Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Frits Hartvigson was a Danish pianist and teacher, who spent many years in England and gave a number of important English concerto premieres. Career Frits Seligmann Hartvigson was born in Grenå, Jutland in 1841. His first lessons were with his mother. He later studied under Niels Gade, Gebauer and Anton Rée in Copenhagen. He made his debut at age 14, and by 17 he was touring throughout Norway. He had further study in Berlin under Hans von Bülow in 1859–62. Bülow recommended he study under his then father-in-law Franz Liszt, but this did not occur. He did, however, meet Liszt, and it was apparently to Hartvigson that Liszt remarked that Charles-Valentin Alkan "possessed the finest technique he had ever known, but preferred the life of a recluse".
