Friedrich Seitz (12 June 1848 – 22 May 1918) 

Friedrich Seitz was a German composer and violinist who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his work as a composer of concertos for the violin, which he wrote for many of the leading violinists of the time. Seitz was born in Frankfurt in 1848 and began studying music at a young age. He received his musical education at the Frankfurt Conservatory, where he studied with some of the leading musicians of the day.

Seitz was a prolific composer and wrote a wide range of music, including operas, symphonies, chamber music, and solo works for various instruments. However, it is his violin concertos that are perhaps his most enduring works. These pieces showcase Seitz's virtuosity as a composer and his ability to create complex and expressive melodies for the violin. Many of Seitz's violin concertos have become staples of the classical repertoire and are still performed by violinists today.

In addition to his work as a composer, Seitz was also a highly respected violinist and taught at several music academies during his career. He was known for his technical proficiency and expressive playing style, and many of his students went on to become successful musicians in their own right. Friedrich Seitz's contributions to classical music have made him an important figure in the history of the genre, and his works continue to be enjoyed by audiences around the world.
