Emil von Sauer

Emil Georg Conrad von Sauer was a German composer, pianist, score editor, and music (piano) teacher. He was a student of Franz Liszt and one of the most distinguished pianists of his generation. Josef Hofmann called von Sauer "a truly great virtuoso." Martin Krause, another Liszt pupil, called von Sauer "the legitimate heir of Liszt; he has more of his charm and geniality than any other Liszt pupil."
