Walter Niemann was born in Hamburg on 10 October 1876 into a notable musical family. His father was the composer and pianist Rudolph Niemann while his uncle, Gustav Adolph Niemann, was a renowned violinist and an important musical influence in Finland. Niemann studied under Engelbert Humperdinck and was also a pupil of Carl Reinecke at the Leipzig Conservatory, earning a doctorate (on early ligatures and mensural music) in 1901. Niemann first worked as a teacher in Hamburg and served as editor of the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik in Leipzig through 1904–06. Between 1907 and 1917 he was critic for the Neueste Nachrichten in Leipzig, though he was later to give up both of these positions in order to devote himself to composition. He also taught on the faculty of the Hamburg Conservatory. In 1927, Hermann Abert described him as “the most important composer for the piano today, who understands how to make music which is fine and colourful, even though he often strays into the salon”.

  2. Hi Carlos
    I see that there are many clicks on this disk, the 3rd movement of Sonata 1 jumps a few times (after about 5 minutes)
    Could you please rip it again? I know it's much asked, but it's hard to enjoy this beautiful music this way...
    Thanks

  3. Thanks for the quick response! Niemann is for me the discovery for the year!! I like his lush writing and the way he develops his melodies. I hear "clicks" most of the time (on headphones), not loud, but mostly present, so I thought it's the whole rip. (e.g. Sonata 2, 3rd mov exactly at 7:00) But don't worry, maybe my ears are just too hyper.
    Thank you again for this great share!!!!

    1. Jan:
      Also for my Niemann has been a discovery (a wonderful discovery). Probably when the "rip" is performed mixed "click" the mouse. I'll be more careful for that superior ear. But honestly I do not listen !!! However, the track 3 was error. Mend as soon as possible, the track 3 of the Sonata No.2.

      regards
