Adolf Jensen

In 1856, Jensen went to Russia to teach in the hope of earning enough money to take lessons with Robert Schumann with whom he had been in correspondence.

He taught advanced piano at Carl Tausig's Schule des höheren Clavierspiels in Berlin from 1866 until 1868 when serious illness forced him to retire.

He went to Dresden, then to Graz in 1870, and finally to Baden-Baden where he died of tuberculosis at the age of 42.

[3][4] His orchestral music consisted of a Concert Overture in E minor and a Geistliches Tonstück.

He started work on an opera, Die Erbin von Montfort in 1864-65, but did not finish it.
