Edward Auer (born December 7, 1941, in New York City) is an American classical pianist.[1][2] In 1965, he became the first American to win a prize in the VII International Chopin Piano Competition. Due to his frequent and subsequent touring in Poland,[1] Mr. Auer is recognized worldwide[citation needed] as one of the leading interpreters of Frédéric Chopin. Auer has also displayed his consummate skill and broad repertoire—from Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Schumann to Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, and others—while touring the U.S., Europe, and Asia.[2] He is currently a Professor of Piano at the Jacobs School of Music of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.[1]
