Elisabeth (Lisy) Fischer (born 22 August 1900〔Certified Archival Documents with birth and marriage dates (Charlottenberg, Berlin), birth certificate of daughter (Amsterdam) and death certificate for Lisy Fischer (UK)〕 in Zurich, Switzerland - died 6 June 1999〔 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England) was a talented pianist from a talented Jewish family. Born to parents Arthur Fischer (from Deutsch Eylau, Prussia - now Iława, Poland) and Bertha Hochstetter (from Liedolsheim, Germany), she was a child prodigy〔Crossener Tageblatt newspaper article dated November 27, 1920 and others describe her as a "Wunderkind"〕 giving piano recitals from 11 years of age first in Geneva and afterwards in Paris under the tutelage of Lucien Grou de Flagny〔L'Echo de Paris Jan 20, 1913 and Le Gaulois Jan 28, 1913〕 and later Charles Barbier.〔Tribune de Genève June 6, 1915 and La Suisse June 25, 1915〕 == Early life and career == Later as a teenager she played both as a soloist as well as with other musicians, giving concerts in Germany, where she studied from 15 years of age, and in Switzerland. She studied at the Stern Conservatory of Music in Berlin under Professor Martin Krause, Rudolf Maria Breithaupt and Professor Wilhelm Klatte where she was awarded the Professor Gustav Hollaender Medal in 1920,〔Certificate No 13149 from the Stern Conservatory of Music illustrated here〕 a few years after her fellow student, Claudio Arrau. An extract of the citation signed by the Director Professor Alexander von Fielitz and her teachers reads "Her predetermination, the clarity and purity of her comprehension, the simplicity and natural manner of her performance, give her rendition a rare objectivity, calmness and technical competence. Her sincerity and purpose combined with a rare clarity and technical precision, as well as a fine musical dexterity, a loving and subtle extraction of every small detail give this new and unusual recital technique a compelling charm. These abilities further enhance the continued development of Miss Fischer’s compulsive, energetic and well disciplined character and clever mind on its way to a great artistic talent”.〔 On March 14, 1919 the Director of the Stern Conservatory, Professor Alexander von Fielitz, wrote a letter 'to whom it may concern' seeking sponsorship for her as a talented pianist. He says in this letter that because of the war, her family are unable to assist her financially and she is having to teach in order to fund her living which is hindering her development.〔See letter dated March 14, 1919 from Professor Alexander von Fielitz illustrated here〕 Her teacher, Rudolf Breithaupt, had a special affinity towards her and wrote a personal note to her over his photograph on May 12, 1919 "The unconscious produces the greatest and most profound effects. To my student, Lisy Fischer, who is very conscious of what she is doing."〔Photo of Rudolf Maria Breithaupt with the text quoted hand written over - illustrated here〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lisy Fischer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
