Eduard and Johannes Kutrowatz, who grew up in the Austrian Province of Burgenland, now live in
Vienna. Their first piano teacher was Uwe Wolff, at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory of Music in Eisenstadt. They continued their studies at the Vienna University of Music, where they studied piano and
conducting, as well as percussion and clarinet, which reflects their ideal of all round
musicianship. |

It was their teacher, Renate Kramer-Preisenhammer, who first suggested that they study original compositions for four hands and for two
pianos. They furthered their training through master classes with Karl Ulrich Schnabel in Freiburg and Franz Rupp in Lockenhaus. |

Stipend, Special Award of the International Schubert-competition Graz/Austria 1992, the Cultural Development prize of the province of Burgenland, the Music Award of the
