Clara Haskil

Clara Haskil (January 7, 1895 - December 7, 1960) was a classical pianist. A celebrated interpreter of classical and early romantic repertoire, Haskil was particularly noted for her performances and recordings of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Well regarded as a chamber musician, Haskil collaborated with such famed musicians as Georges Enescu, Eugene Ysaye, Pablo Casals and Arthur Grumiaux, with whom she played her last concert.

Haskil was born in Bucharest, Romania and after early study in Vienna under Richard Robert (whose memorable pupils include Rudolf Serkin and George Szell), she entered the Paris Conservatoire to study with Alfred Cortot, graduating at age 15 with the Primier Prix.

She died through a fall in a train station.
