11Tau’sig, Carl, b. Warsaw, Nov. 4, 1841; d. Leipzig, July 17, 1871. Remarkable piano-virtuoso; trained by his father Aloys T. [1820–1885], who was a pupil of Thalberg, and wrote brilliant pf.-music; from the age of 14 he studied with Liszt, almost vying with him in grandeur of interpretation, and surpassing him in absolute flawlessness of technique—the latter due, in great part, to his systematic and zealous practice of his original transposing finger-exercises. His public début was made in 1858, at an orchestral concert conducted by von Bülow at Berlin. During the next two years he gave concerts in German cities, making Dresden his headquarters; then went to Vienna in 1862, giving orch.l concerts with “advanced” programs similar to Bülow’s at Berlin. He settled in Berlin in 1865, and opened a “Schule des höheren Clavierspiels.”
