Otto Taubmann

Otto Taubmann (8 March 1859 – 4 July 1929) was a German composer and conductor.

[2] Taubmann's compositional output includes sacred and stage music in addition to Lieder and choral works.

In addition to psalm settings and the choral drama Sängerweihe published in 1904 after a libretto by Christian von Ehrenfels, the opera Porzia after Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice was premiered in 1916.

In addition to his own compositions, Taubmann published a large number of arrangements of pieces by other composers, including Heinrich Schütz, Richard Strauss, Jean Sibelius and Antonín Dvořák.

42, written in 1909 and republished in 2007, was called "Excellent" by the otherwise very critical Sibelius in a letter to the publisher.
