Heinrich Grünfeld

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Grünfeld (April 21, 1855, Prague - August 26, 1931, Berlin) was a Bohemian-Austrian violoncellist; a brother of Alfred Grünfeld.

He educated at the Prague Conservatory, he went to Berlin in 1876, and for eight years taught at the Neue Akademie der Tonkunst in that city. In conjunction with Xaver Scharwenka and Gustav Holländer (later with Émile Sauret, Max Pauer, and Florian Zajic), he arranged trio soirées which became very popular. In 1866 Grünfeld was appointed court violoncellist to King William of Prussia.
