August Wilhelm Hartmann
August Wilhelm Hartmann (6 November 1775 – 15 November 1850) was a Danish composer and violinist at the Royal Chapel in Copenhagen. He was a second generation of composers in the Hartmann musical family. Trained as a musician by his father, composer Johann Hartmann (1726-1793) and by composer Claus Schall (1757-1835), he has written various pieces for the piano. Reference can be made among others to a C minor piano sonata (ca. 1814-1815) and to three sets of themes and variations for piano published by Lose in 1815. He was himself the father of composer Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann (1805-1900). August Wilhelm Hartmann was for some time also organist at the Garrison church in Copenhagen, but had to retire in 1824 because of an increasing deafness, whereupon his son became his successor. August Wilhelm Hartmann’s wife Christiane Petrea Friderica Wittendorf (1778-1848) was herself daughter and granddaughter of organists. She became the governess of later King Frederik VII, ...

Johann Hartmann
Johann Ernst Hartmann (His real name was Johann Hartmann, but due to a confusion with his elder son, who was also a composer, he became known by posterity as Johann Ernst Hartmann; 24 December 1726, Głogów, Bohemian Crown – 21 October 1793, Copenhagen) was a Danish composer and violinist. He is remembered in particular for his two operas on texts by Johannes Ewald in which he helped creating a national musical style. The first of these, ''Balders død,'' builds on the old Nordic mythology and uses dark colours when depicting the old Gods and Valkyries. The second, ''Fiskerne'', describes contemporary fishermen’s lives, and uses melodies inspired by the Scandinavian folk style. Most of the works of Hartmann were destroyed in the fire of Christiansborg Castle shortly after his death. Two of Hartmann’s sons were composers, Johan Ernst Hartmann and August Wilhelm Hartmann, and a third, Ludvig August was a violinist. The composer Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann was the so ...

Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann
Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann (14 May 1805 – 10 March 1900) was, together with his son-in-law Niels W. Gade, the leading Danish composer of the 19th century. According to Alfred Einstein, he was ″the real founder of the Romantic movement in Denmark and even in all Scandinavia″. J.P.E. Hartmann was the third generation of composers in the Danish musical Hartmann family. Biography Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann was born and died in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was the son of composer August Wilhelm Hartmann (1775–1850) and Christiane Petrea Frederica Wittendorff (1778–1848), and the grandson of composer Johann Hartmann (1726-1793), who had originally emigrated to Denmark from Silesia. J.P.E. Hartmann himself was largely self taught. Complying with his father's wishes (who wanted to protect him from the uncertainties of a musician's life), he studied the law and consequently worked as a civil servant from 1829 to 1870, whilst pursuing an extensive musical career. By 1824, he beca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hans Christian Andersen ( , ; 2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, he is best remembered for his literary fairy tales.

His most famous fairy tales include " The Emperor's New Clothes", " The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", " The Steadfast Tin Soldier", " The Red Shoes", "The Princess and the Pea", " The Snow Queen", " The Ugly Duckling", " The Little Match Girl", and " Thumbelina".

Frederik Vermehren
Johan Frederik (Frits) Nikolai Vermehren, also known as Frederik Vermehren (12 May 1823 – 10 January 1910), a genre and portrait painter in the realist style. His artistic career took place during the period of Danish art known as the Golden Age of Danish Painting. Vermehren, along with his fellow artists Christen Dalsgaard (1824–1907) and Julius Exner (1825–1910), were prominent in the Danish genre of painting; they depicted ordinary people of the country, especially farmers and other country folk.

Male Composers
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as '' Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an examp ...

Hartmann Family
Hartmann is a Germanic and Ashkenazi Jewish surname. It is less frequently used as a male given name. The name originates from the Germanic word, "hart", which translates in English to "hardy", "hard", or "tough" and "Mann", a suffix meaning "man", "person", or "husband". The name Hartman, distinguished by ending with a single "n", is generally the result of the anglicisation of names that occurred with the emigration of persons from German-speaking to anglophone nations in the 18th, 19th and early 20th century.
