Teaching
Weissenberg gave piano master classes all over the world. With his Piano Master Class in Engelberg (Switzerland), he had as students many pianists of the new generation: Kirill Gerstein, Simon Mulligan, Mehmet Okonsar, Nazzareno Carusi, Andrey Ponochevny, Loris Karpell, and Roberto Carnevale among them.
He was also a composer of much piano music and a musical, Nostalgie, that was premiered at the State Theatre of Darmstadt on October 17, 1992.
