High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alfred Brendel KBE (born 5 January 1931) is an Austrian pianist, born in Czechoslovakia and a resident of the United Kingdom. He is also a poet and author of the surreal. Brendel was born in Wiesenberg, Czechoslovakia, now Loucna nad Desnou, Czech Republic, to a non-musical family. They moved to Zagreb when Brendel was six, and later to Graz, where they lived during World War II, towards the end of which the 14-year old Brendel was sent to Yugoslavia to dig trenches. However, he developed frostbite and was taken to the hospital. Throughout his childhood, Brendel began piano lessons when he was six, and in 14 he studied piano and composition in the Graz Conservatory for the next two years, but otherwise had little formal music education. After the war, Brendel composed music, as well as continuing to play the piano and to paint. However, he never had more formal piano lessons and although he attended masterclasses with Edwin Fischer and Eduard Steuermann, he was largely self-taught.
