==Compositional style==
{{ external media | float = right|width=290ps|audio1 = You may listen to Artur Schnabel and his son [[Karl Ulrich Schnabel]] performing [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]]'s [[Piano Concerto No. 10 (Mozart)|Concerto for Two Pianos in E-flat major, K. 365]] with [[Adrian Boult]] conducting the [[London Symphony Orchestra]] in 1936 [https://archive.org/details/DoublePianoConcertoInE-flat/02_Andanta.mp3 '''here on archive.org''']}}

Despite his performing repertoire being concentrated largely on the works of Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart and Brahms, almost all of his own compositions (none of which are in the active repertoire) are [[atonality|atonal]]. (It is interesting, in this regard, to note that Schnabel was a close friend of [[Arnold Schoenberg]], his Austrian-American compatriot, who was famous as a pioneering composer of atonal and [[Twelve-tone technique|twelve-tone]] music.)

They are "difficult" yet fascinating and complex works, and are marked by genuine originality of style. Composers [[Ernst Krenek]] and [[Roger Sessions]] have commented that they show signs of undoubted genius (see biography of Schnabel by Cesar Saerchinger). Schnabel's list of compositions eventually included three [[symphony|symphonies]], a piano concerto, a rhapsody for orchestra, a piano sonata (premiered by [[Eduard Erdmann]] at the 1925 Venice ISCM Festival<ref>Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 5th ed., 1954, [[Eric Blom]]. ed.</ref>) and five [[string quartet]]s, amongst various smaller works.

In recent years, a number of his compositions (notably championed by the violinist [[Paul Zukofsky]]) have been recorded and made available on CD, including three of his string quartets, the three symphonies, a rhapsody for orchestra, and four solo piano works: his Sonata, Dance Suite, Piece in Seven Movements (1935–37) and Seven Pieces (1947). Pianist [[Jenny Lin]] released a recording of Schnabel's complete keyboard music for the Steinway and Sons label in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://jennylin.net/bio/|title=Bio|website=Jennylin.net}}</ref>
