Ludwig Hartmann (composer)

Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Hartmann (3 August 1836 – 14 February 1910) was a German composer and music critic.

He was educated at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig under Moscheles and Hauptmann and then went to Weimar as a pupil of Franz Liszt.

His wife Louise, daughter of the lawyer Julius von Kirchmann, also found her final resting place there.

Of Hartmann's compositions, his lieds and ballades in particular have been widely circulated, but he was also successful as a composer of piano music and pianist.

He published various writings about Wagner[3] and contributed numerous articles to periodical literature.
