Gulda began playing the piano at the age of seven. In 1942 he began music studies with Bruno Seidlhofer (piano) and Joseph Marx (music theory and composition) at the Vienna Academy of Music, now the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. At the age of 16, he succeeded at the Geneva International Music Competition and quickly rose to world fame thereafter. His extremely precise interpretations of Mozart and Beethoven, which are particularly faithful to the original works, are still considered milestones in the history of interpretation. Characteristic of Gulda is his extremely precise and rhythmically accentuated playing.

His repertoire included works by J. S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Debussy and Ravel, with his interpretations of Beethoven’s piano sonatas and Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier causing a particular stir. In his concerts, he often played works by Bach faithfully on a clavichord.

Gulda had an excellent memory. He needed, for example (as workshop participants report), to look at the musical text of Robert Schumann’s “Forest Scenes” for only a few minutes before playing the work from memory.

One of Gulda’s most famous students is the Argentine pianist Martha Argerich.
