Lili Kraus (3 April 1903 – 6 November 1986) was a Hungarian-born pianist.Biography[edit]Lili Kraus was born in Budapest in 1903. Her father was from Czech Lands, and her mother from an assimilated Jewish Hungarian family.She enrolled at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, and at the age of 17 entered the Budapest Conservatory where she studied with Zoltán Kodály, and Béla Bartók. In the 1930s, she continued her studies with Severin Eisenberger, Eduard Steuermann in Vienna and Artur Schnabel in Berlin, who focused her interest in the classical tradition.Lili Kraus soon became known as a specialist in Mozart and Beethoven. Her early chamber music performances and recording with violinist Szymon Goldberg helped gain the critical acclaim that launched her international career. In the 1930s, she toured Europe, Japan, Australia and South Africa. In 1940, Kraus embarked on a tour of Asia where, while in Java, she and her family were captured and interned in a concentration camp by the Japanese from June 1943 until August 1945.After the war, she settled in New Zealand where she spent many happy years playing, performing, and teaching. She became a NZ citizen and resumed her career, teaching and touring extensively. In the early 1950s she performed the entire Beethoven sonata cycle with violinist Henri Temianka. From 1967 to 1983, she taught as artist-in-residence at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. After that she made her home in Asheville, North Carolina, where she died in 1986.Kraus' husband was Otto Mandl (b. 1889 d. 1956), a wealthy Jewish (later converted to Catholicism) mining engineer and philosopher. They were married on October 31, 1930 and Mandl sold his business in order to devote himself to the furtherance of Kraus' career.[1]. The couple had two children, Ruth and Michael.[1]Scans/Photos of the actual items are shown. Condition should also be considered by viewing the photosYou can check the Stores, Shows and Sales.

Further with the Federal closing of smaller post offices (mine included), it might take a couple extra days to arrive.- If you need it quickly, just ask and I usually have no problem accommodating your wishes.- I combine shipping. - I sell and ship internationally. However, once it leaves the United States, buyers assume the risk of the package getting there, if it makes it to that country intact, which is more than fair. Blame France for that one.....Shipping rates vary due to location of where the item is being sent. If I offer free shipping on any items it is for the United States only unless noted.Other Legal-eze:- I offer a money back guarantee provided I get the item back in the condition it was sent and it’s within 30 days of receipt of said item.- Payment must be made thru Paypal (per eBay).
