German composer. Born to a singer, he showed a talent for composition from an early age. After studying composition and piano in his hometown of Cologne, he held important positions in Germany and Liverpool, including music director of Koblenz, and from 1891 taught composition at the Academy of Arts Berlin. Influenced by Mendelssohn and Brahms, he left behind works in many genres, including three symphonies, chamber music, cantatas, oratorios, and operas, and during his lifetime he gained fame as a leading composer of large-scale choral works. Today, only a few of his works are known in Japan, but his Violin Concerto No. 1 (1868), Scottish Fantasia for violin and orchestra (1880), and Kol Nidrei for cello and orchestra (1881) are widely loved. The first two were dedicated to Joachim and Sarasate, respectively. →Vaughan Williams / Kosaku Yamada / Rubinstein Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
