The Pierre Zimmermann Tradition

A teacher at the Paris Conservatory, Zimmermann was one of the founders of the French pianism and exerted a profound influence on future generations of pianists, especially by way of Antoine-François Marmontel. He also influenced the Spanish piano tradition through Pedro Tintorer.
