Robert Schultz (1948- )
Robert Schultz, American
composer, arranger and editor, has achieved international fame
during his career in the music publishing industry. He entered
the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in
1971, where he graduated magna cum laude, earning a Bachelor of
Music Degree in Theory/Composition, and a Master of Music Degree
in Composition under the tutelage of composer Thomas Canning.
During this same period he studied piano with James Miltenberger
and Herman Godes, and developed a keen and lasting interest in
piano technology, which he studied with master-technician Dean
Shank. Schultz recalls his years at WVU as an extraordinary
educational experience, crediting his study and participation in
a wide range of music disciplines as the foundation for the
diversity of his library of publications. In 1978 Schultz began
working for Columbia Pictures Publications as an
arranger. Within one year Schultz was promoted to Senior
Keyboard Editor and also became the featured piano writer for
the publisher. The earliest editions of his published works
included the Future Artists Series, piano transcriptions
of orchestral works, arrangements of popular music, and Schultz
editions of standard classical piano pieces – all of which
became the basis for The Robert Schultz Piano Library,
established in 1980. During the next 25 years, Schultz would
write more than 3,000 works for this library published within
the catalogs of Belwin Mills, Columbia Pictures Publications,
CPP/Belwin, The FJH Music Company, Warner Brothers Publications,
and Alfred Music Publishing Co. In 1990 Schultz left the senior
editor position to devote his full attention to composing and
arranging from his studio. In 1997 he married Tina Faigen, his
business partner, collaborator, editor and interpreter of his
concert piano works. Together they launched Schultz Music
Publications, co-authored the Accelerando Piano
Technique Series and other renowned piano editions, as
well as collaborating on recording projects and concerts. In
addition to this extensive library of published piano works,
Schultz’s output includes original orchestral works, choral and
vocal works, chamber music and works for solo instruments, and
his catalog continues to grow with commissions and premieres of
new choral works, chamber music, works for orchestra, and new
additions to The Robert Schultz Piano Library.COMPOSITIONS Robert Schultz Links ~ ~ ~ Works by Genre
