Goltermann

Georg Goltermann (1824–1898) was a German cellist and composer who served as conductor of the Frankfurt Opera for many years while maintaining a performing career that took him across Europe. His output centres on the cello: nine concertos and a large number of salon pieces written from the inside knowledge of a working soloist. His Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 65 has become one of the most widely used intermediate cello concertos in the teaching repertoire, a standard fixture on examination syllabuses; like Bréval and Dancla before him, Goltermann is a composer whose music is considerably better known than his name.
