Daniel Adam Maltz is a fortepianist based in Vienna, Austria. He specializes in Wiener Klassik – Viennese Classicism — especially the works of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven performed on the Viennese fortepianos of their time. Called "master of the Viennese fortepiano," Daniel's performances are praised for their "extraordinary precision and lightness" (The Common Reader). Critics applaud his "very sensitive phrasing" and "marvelous dynamic contrasts" (Marblehead Current) featuring "broad warmth" and "lavish but tasteful" playing (Classical Sonoma). He is in demand worldwide with 50+ tour dates per year as a sought-after soloist, Lieder accompanist and clinician. Daniel also hosts Classical Cake, the podcast about Viennese classical music and culture.
