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.

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] !!!!!!!

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].
