Your best bet is to try and find a copy of Cesar Saerchinger's Biography
titled "Artur Schnabel".  Published in 1957 by Cassell in England.  I would
imagine that it's long since out of print but used book dealers, libraries,
etc.  The Dante set is a real bargain particularly if you got it at the
Berkshire Record Outlet who when last I looked were selling the set for
under $30.00.
