Pauline Volkstein
Pauline Volkstein (19 January 1849 – 6 May 1925) was a German composer[1] of over 1,000 songs.[2]
Volkstein was born in Quedlinburg. She had little formal music training, but came from a musical family. Her mother had studied counterpoint with Friedrich Schneider, and her uncle was cellist and composer Bernhard Cossmann.[3] Volkstein lived in Paris, Dresden, Murano, and Naples before settling in Weimar with her sister in 1905.[4] Her first songs were published around that time.[3]
Volkstein set her own poems to music and also composed music for texts by poets
Volkstein self-published some of her music.[5] Several of her songs with guitar accompaniment initially appeared in Der Wächter, a magazine associated with the German youth movement during the 1920s and 1930s.[6] Her music was also published by Fritz Schuberth[7] and Ries & Erler GMBH.
