Dear Mr. Genghis Khan,

his original first name is "Friedrich". According to an austrian music dictionary born Vienna July 5th 1835, died New York May 14th 1889.
According to Walter Niemann Brandeis was a pupil of the Wiener Akademie and studied with Fischhof, Czerny and Rufinatscha.

best regards

Hi Alfor

Yes, I suppose it does look a bit like Genghis.....but actually Ivan the Terrible [well, thought I needed a Russian picture this time around, and Ivan suits my temperament] :D !!!!!!!

Thanks for the amended info on Brandeis....appears Baker's Dictionary may be wrong on this occasion !!

Nice to be back to nuture the site [thanks Alfred for keeping it flowing].

Ernst Pauer - born 1826 in Vienna, died 1905 in Jugenheim near Darmstdt. Austrian pianist, pupil of Dirzka until 1839 then studied with W.A. Mozart Jr (piano) and Sechter (composition) from 1839-44 and then with Lachner in Munich from 1845-47. From 1847-1851 was director of the Mainz Music Society then moved and settled in London in 1851. Professor at Royal Academy of Music from 1859-64, and then in 1867 took up a position as Principal professor at the National Training School, followed by a move in 1883 to the Royal College of Music. Retired to Jugenheim in 1896.
Wrote a number of technical works on piano playing, transcriptions of works by Beethoven, Schubert and Mendelssohn, plus many piano studies and pieces, a symphony in C minor and chamber music.

We have seen various scores by his son Max posted on this site - here are two works by his father Ernst:
