Hans-Erich Riebensahm

Hans-Erich Riebensahm (24 June 1906 in Königsberg – 15 October 1988 in Berlin) was a German classical pianist and music educator.

As a pupil of Artur Schnabel, Riebensahm was a proven Beethoven player.

He often included Paul Hindemith and the forgotten Hans-Georg Burghardt [de] in his program.

In 1955, at Königsberg's 700th anniversary celebration in Duisburg he played the Nature Trilogy by Heinz Tiessen and - as world premiere - the Piano Sonata in a Movement by Otto Besch [de].

He played works by Beethoven, Schumann and Liszt as a soloist between 1956 and 1972 in twelve subscription concerts of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Carl August Bünte [de].
