Jakob Rosenhain

Jakob Rosenhain (Jacob, Jacques) (2 December 1813 in Mannheim[1] – 21 March 1894 in Baden-Baden)[2] was a Jewish and German pianist and composer of classical music.

Rosenhain made his debut at the age of 11.[2] During their 1837 season, he was a soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (on April 17), which in 1854 (also in April) programmed one of his symphonies.[3][4]

He worked with Johann Baptist Cramer on a published school of piano-playing. From 1849 he made his home in Paris.[5]

He was a friend of Felix Mendelssohn at least from 1839.[3]

  12. ↑ Scanned in at Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Site, in References. Op.41 is mentioned in HMB as another work entirely from 1845, and op.44 in F minor seems to be Rosenhain's first sonata - so this may be a typo or misreading on someone's part (it seemed to be op.41, but now am assuming this should be op.44).
