Description

Rare piece of Australian music history . Lots about her on the net, here is just some of it.
Dr Nancy Weir (1915-2008) was known as ‘Australia’s Shirley Temple’ and travelled to Berlin at age 13 to study under the Beethoven descendant teacher Artur Schnabel in 1932.  Dr Weir became one of Australia’s most famous and celebrated pianists winning the main piano prizes at the Royal Academy of Music in London in the 1940s.  She was even a spy in London for the allies during the second world war, using her highly developed aural skills to listen into and analyse German radio broadcasts!  Dr Weir transferred some of her doubtless skills to Miss Berna when she was her primary lecturer in piano at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in the 1980s.
