Schools of piano

This is an ongoing list of pianists I've documented over time: who studied with whom, where, and what became of it. Every pianist learned from someone, who learned from someone else, and the chain of teacher to student is how a "school" of playing survives — a set of habits about tone, pedaling, and fingering passed down hand to hand, long after the people who first held those ideas have died. Where a teacher or student is also catalogued here, their name links to their own page.

Corrections and additions are still in progress — names, dates, and lineages here will keep changing as the research continues.
