Tausig's grave in Berlin

He was born in Warsaw to Jewish parents, and had his first piano lessons from his father. He subsequently met Franz Liszt in Weimar, and studied and travelled with him. At the age of 16 he met Richard Wagner, of whom he became a devoted follower. Wagner enjoyed patronising him (as is evident from Wagner's autobiography, 'My Life') despite his Jewish background. Tausig made piano arrangements of many of Wagner's operas. He also introduced to Wagner his friend Peter Cornelius, another Wagner adept. Image File history File links Tausiggrave. ...
