Career
Krause was born in Lobstädt, [1] Saxony as the youngest son of the choirmaster and church schoolmaster Johann Carl Friedrich Krause in Lobstädt. He initially attended the teacher training college in Borna,[ citation needed] then at the Leipzig Conservatory with Ernst Ferdinand Wenzel and Carl Reinecke. He performed on the concert platform in 1878–80 but stopped because of a nervous breakdown. [1]
In 1882, he became a pupil of Franz Liszt and studied his technique; he was later among Liszt's most prominent promoters. [1] Krause later established himself as a piano teacher and writer on music in Leipzig,[ citation needed] where he was one of the founders of the Franz-Liszt-Verein association. [1] From 1900, he also taught in Dresden. [1] From 1901, Krause worked as a professor at the Royal Academy of Music in Munich, and from at least 1896 to 1911[ citation needed] at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin. [1] His notable pupils there include Claudio Arrau, Edwin Fischer and Rosita Renard. [1]
In addition to his work nurturing the Liszt tradition, Krause was also known for his interpretations of Beethoven's music. [1]
