Carl Heymann (also Karl; 1853 in Filehne, (or Oct. 4, 1854 in Amsterdam)[1] – 1922 in Bingen), was a virtuoso German pianist, composer and piano teacher.

Heymann studied at Cologne Conservatory with Ferdinand Hiller and upon his debut was called the "new Liszt"[2] or the "second Rubinstein"[3] by some experts.

In spite of many interruptions to his early and fast rise to fame by psychological suffering, he was considered one of the most important pianists of his generation and was also known as a composer.

He succeeded to Joseph Rubinstein [de] in teaching at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt am Main from 1879 to 1880.

Heymann's repertoire included the virtuoso piano concertos of Ferdinand Ries, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, John Field, Moscheles, Reinecke, Chopin, Mendelssohn and Schumann.
