Bauer first performed in public at the age of nine as a violinist. He later studied with Paderewski, who encoraged him to pursue a career as a pianist. In 1893 he performed in Paris and toured Russia. In addition to being a fine soloist, Bauer earned a reputation as an excellent chamber musician, often performing in trios with Thilbaud and Casals. Around the time of WWI, Bauer settled in New York and became active in the musical life there, founding the Beethoven Association of New York in 1918. He was known for his performances of Brahms, Schumann and Franck, but he also included in his repertoire the work of such contemporary composers as Debussy and Ravel. He was the author of Harold Bauer, His Book (New York, 1948). ~ Lynn Vought
