| - Adolf von Henselt (May 12, 1814 - October 10, 1889), German composer and pianist, was born at Schwabach, in Bavaria.At the age of three he began to learn the violin, and at five the piano under Frau von Fladt. On obtaining financial help from King Ludwig I of Bavaria he went to study under Hummel in Weimar for some months, and thence in 1832 to Vienna, where, besides studying composition under Simon Sechter, he made a great success as a concert pianist.In order to improve his health he made a prolonged tour in 1836 through the chief German towns. In 1837 he settled at Breslau, where he had married Rosalie Vogel, but in the following year he migrated to Saint Petersburg, where previous visits had made him persona grata at Court. He then became court pianist and inspector of musical studies in the Imperial Institute of Female Education, and was ennobled in 1876. He usually spent his summer holidays in his former homeland Germany. In 1852 and again in 1867 he visited England, though in the latter year he made no public appearance. Saint Petersburg was his home practically until his death, which occurred during a stay at Warmbrunn, Germany, due to cardiac disease. The characteristic of Henselt's playing was a combination of Franz Liszt's sonority with Hummel's smoothness. It was full of poetry, remarkable for the great use he made of extended chords, and for his perfect technique. Indeed, his cantabile playing was unequalled: even Liszt was envious, once exclaiming "I could have had velvet paws like that if I had wanted to." His influence on the next generation of Russian pianists is immense. It is in Henselt's playing and teaching that the entire Russian school of music had its genesis, developing from the seeds planted by John Field. Sergei Rachmaninoff held him in very great esteem, and considered him one of his most important influences.He excelled in his own works and in those of Carl Maria von Weber and Frédéric Chopin. His Piano concerto in F minor op. 16 was once frequently played in Europe; and of his many valuable studies, Si oiseau j'étais was very familiar. At one time Henselt was second to Anton Rubinstein in the direction of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. However, despite his relatively long life, Henselt ceased all composition by the age of thirty. The reasons are unclear. Chronic stage fright, bordering on paranoia, caused him to withdraw from concert appearances by age thirty-three. (en)
- Adolf von Henselt (12 de mayo de 1814 - 10 de octubre de 1889), compositor y pianista alemán, nació en Schwabach, Baviera.A los 3 años de edad empezó a aprender a tocar el violín, y a los 5 años el piano, siendo su maestra Frau von Fladt. Para obtener ayuda financiera del rey Luis I de Baviera se fue a estudiar con Johann Nepomuk Hummel en Weimar por algunos meses, y de ahí a Viena en 1832, donde, además de estudiar composición con Simon Sechter, obtuvo grandes éxitos como pianista de conciertos. Para mejorar su salud, en 1836 realizó un viaje prolongado a través de los pueblos de Alemania. En 1833 se estableció en Wrocław, donde se casó con Rosalie Vogel, pero en los siguientes años se mudó a San Petersburgo, en donde fue bien recibido, ya que anteriormente había visitado la ciudad. Entonces, se convirtió en el pianista de la corte e inspector de estudios musicales en el Instituto Imperial de Educación Femenina. Fue admitido en la nobleza en 1876. Usualmente pasaba los días de fiesta de verano en su tierra natal. En 1852 y 1867 visitó Inglaterra. Sin embargo, en los años siguientes no actuó en público. San Petersburgo fue prácticamente su hogar hasta que murió, lo cual ocurrió en una visita a Warmbrunn, Alemania, debido a una enfermedad del corazón. Su influencia sobre la siguiente generación de pianistas rusos es inmensa. A pesar de su longeva vida, todas sus composiciones las realizó a los 30 años de edad. Las razones no están claras. (es)
