Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler (July 16, 1863 – August 20, 1927)[1] was an Austrian-born American pianist.

[2][3] Zeisler was born Fannie Blumenfeld on July 16, 1863, in Bielitz, Austrian Silesia, to Jewish parents.

At the age of six, before receiving any musical instruction, she began picking out tunes on the piano.

In 1877, Annette Essipova, then on tour in the United States, heard her play and advised that she became a pupil of Theodor Leschetizky.

[5][6] In 1888, she was honorably initiated into musical women's fraternity Alpha Chi Omega.
