Why Is Guy Maier Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Guy Maier was an American pianist, composer, arranger, teacher, and writer. From about 1919 to 1931, he was a member of the two-piano team of Maier and Pattison. Early life Guy Maier was born in Buffalo, New York, the son of John Maier, a retail shoe dealer, and his wife, Eva D. Maier. As a boy, he aspired to be a Presbyterian minister, but his musical talent turned him in the direction of the piano and the organ. He enrolled at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where he studied piano with Carl Baermann , a friend and pupil of Franz Liszt. In Boston Maier met Lee Pattison , a recent New England Conservatory graduate who was also a fine pianist. Following Maier's graduation in 1913, Maier and Pattison left together for Europe, where they hoped to become pupils of Harold Bauer , Josef Hofmann , or Arthur Schnabel , all eminent pianists of the time. They found that Bauer was away and Hofmann took no pupils, but Schnabel agreed to teach them. So they went to Berlin, where Schnabel coached them for about a year. In Berlin, Schnabel and Maier formed a friendship that endured until Schnabel's death. Maier and Pattison returned to Boston in 1914, where Maier made his solo debut as a concert pianist.
