The death has been communicated of the Iowa-born Austrian pianist Norman Shetler, a professor in Vienna who made his own puppets and toured his creations as a musical cabaret.
Early in his career he competed in the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow and toured as accompanist with Nathan Milstein and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
Norman was 93.
