STEINWAY-Frederick. The House of Steinway & Sons announces with deep sorrow
the death of Frederick ``Fritz'' Steinway, on November 9, 2004 after a long
illness, at the age of 83. Frederick was the fourth and youngest son of the

in the Pacific Theatre. Upon separation from the service, Fritz attended
Harvard University where he received a Master's degree in Business

appointed Concert & Artist Manager, a position he held with great
accomplishment until his departure from the firm in 1963 to pursue a career in
Artist Management. Fritz is survived by his wife, Mary Kathryn, and three
sons, Frederick E., Robert C., and Christian T. and four grandchildren.
