Piero Weiss, a former concert pianist and recording artist who turned to musicology, becoming an author and co-author of books in the field, including a widely used textbook, and founding the music history department at the Peabody Conservatory, died on Sunday in . He was 83. The cause was complications of pneumonia, said his son, Antonio. Coming of age in a generation of pianists that included Gary Graffman, Claude Frank, Jacob Lateiner, Leon Fleisher and Seymour Lipkin, all of whom were lifelong friends, Dr. Weiss performed in Europe and America from the age of 16 into his 30s and recorded works by Schubert, Schumann, Debussy and Ravel. His broadcast performance of Mendelssohn’s First Piano Concerto from Lewisohn Stadium in Manhattan in 1958 was part of the first FM transmission in stereophonic sound. Mr. Graffman, in his memoir, “I Really Should Be Practicing,” wrote, “Piero’s musicological knowledge was far greater than mine, and covered much more than just piano literature.” His scholarly bent eventually won out, leading him away from the concert stage and into an academic career. He enrolled at , earning a B.A. in 1950 and a Ph.D. in musicology in 1970. Dr. Weiss was the author of four books, including, with Richard Taruskin, “Music in the Western World: A History in Documents,” an anthology of source readings that has been adopted as a college textbook throughout the United States and Canada. Dr. Weiss specialized in the history of Italian opera. At his death he was awaiting the publication of his latest book, on 18th-century Italian opera, in Italian, by the Turin publishing house EDT. He also wrote extensively about Schubert. Dr. Weiss taught at Columbia from 1964 to 1985, when he joined the faculty at the prestigious Peabody Conservatory, part of , where he remained until his death. He also taught performance at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. Piero Ernesto Weiss was born in Trieste, Italy, on Jan. 26, 1928, into a Jewish Italian family well known in the worlds of business and the arts. His father, Ottocaro Weiss, was an insurance executive; his mother, the former Ortensia Schmitz, was a violinist and a niece of the novelist Italo Svevo. Mr. Weiss fled Fascist Italy with his family in 1938 and arrived in New York in 1940. As a young man, he studied piano with Isabella Vengerova and , music theory and composition with Karl Weigl, and chamber music with Adolf Busch. Besides his son, Dr. Weiss is survived by his wife, Carole Severson Weiss; a daughter, Maria Leandri; a brother, Carlo; and six grandchildren.
