Hans Tischler was one of my early teachers. Back in 1975, a freshman at
Indiana University, I took an independent study class with him. I found
Prof. Tischler to be a very gracious man with a great smile, tremendous
enthusiasm, and a teacher quite willing to put up with the gaps in my
knowledge. An expert on Mozart, we spent most of our time covering form
in the piano concertos, with my final project being a comparison and
contrast between the Mozart K.595 and the Bartok Concerto No. 3.
He was a musicologist whose love of history ranged much more far afield
than music. "There are some books that make history live" he told me
once.

Rest in peace, Mr. Tischler.I'm so sorry for the loss of your teacher and friend, Edward.:heart:
Well as with Mrs. Rhodes the news comes way late. But you know I was actually surpised it was 2010. I mean, he was like 92! A long life, with many students. I've spent today and yesterday listening to Mozart. I'm still learning. I think he would appreciate that. :)Thanks for the sympathy and support, S. :heart:

Some teachers make the greatest possible impact in our lives. The knowledge they were passing to us is priceless even though many of us realize that later in life, and unfortunately, some of us don't get it ever.I am glad you still remember him :up:

Sensei Nomura, my current teacher from Japan :yes:
