Edward Goll

Edward Goll (4 February 1884 – 11 January 1949) was a Bohemian pianist who settled in Australia in the 1910s and became a noted piano teacher at the Melbourne University Conservatorium of Music.

Goll was considered a wunderkind in his time, and often played for Queen Marie of Romania, who showered him with honours and gifts.

[3] After the war, Goll took refresher lessons from Eugen d'Albert in Europe and toured in the United States with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and Henri Verbrugghen.

[3] His students at the Conservatorium included Margaret Sutherland,[4] Waldemar Seidel (the teacher of Noel Mewton-Wood, Don Banks, Peggy Glanville-Hicks and others), Nancy Weir, George Vern Barnett and Linda Phillips.
