Claudio Arrau could trace his musical lineage through his teacher Martin Krause to Liszt, Beethoven and Haydn themselves. Yet this probing and poetic artist was not afraid to admit that “Schubert is for me the ultimate problem of interpretation … There is the dramatic scope of Beethoven and the simplicity of Austrian folksong; wonderful lyric writing … and great chastity. And much of his music is filled with anxiety – so obvious when you know his language.”
