Pianist and composer Julius Schulhoff from Prague, great-grandfather of Erwin Schulhoff, was performing at an early age as a child prodigy. His musical education continued in his native city, where his repertoire grew to include works by Frédéric Chopin which he first performed in Prague. Schulhoff later met Chopin personally in Paris while on one of his numerous concert tours of Europe. For health reasons in later years he concentrated mainly on teaching, first in Dresden and then in Berlin. In his work as a composer he focused exclusively on the piano, particularly in the genre of salon music. An example of the genre is this Impromptu Confidence op. 8/1, a pretty and appealing treat – again arranged by Ernst W. Ritter for violin and piano. Edition based on plate no. 02397, first published in 1890 as plate no. 24963.
