Description
Eduard Erdmann (5 March 1896 – 21 June 1958) was a Baltic German pianist and composer. His first musical studies were in Riga, where his teachers were Bror Möllersten and Jean du Chastain. From 1914 he studied piano in Berlin with Conrad Ansorge and composition with Heinz Tiessen, from 1925 he was professor of piano at the Cologne Academy of Music but was forced to resign from his post by the Nazis in 1935 and became an 'inner exile', composing almost nothing until after the end of World War II. He joined the Nazi Party in 1937; while not in sympathy with National Socialism, his decision was to avoid government harassment so that he could continue to work, like several other German musicians at the time. This action ruined his post-war reputation, and it did not recover in his lifetime. He resumed teaching as Professor of Piano at the Hochschule für Musik in Hamburg in 1950, but died of a heart-attack in 1958.
