Nationality[edit]

I don't know. He was born in Germany to an American father and a German mother who became American citizen. We have several articles on Wikipedia describing him as American (ARD International Music Competition, International German Piano Award). The QEC source says from "Germany" which might the best thing to say? Whatever we say, we better get it consistent. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:19, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This 2014 source says "German-American". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
