| Information: | (b Berlin, 13 Jan 1842; d Gross-Tabarz, 16 July 1902). German composer. He studied in Berlin and was well known in the 1870s and 1880s for his orchestral and choral works, such as the Ungarische Suite op.16 and Das Marchen von der schonen Melusine op.30, and his operas Cartouche, Armin and Annchen von Tharau, but his amiable traditionalism, seen also in the piano duets and chamber music, did not ensure lasting success. |
