Browse piano sheets by Gustav Lange on Zen Virtual Piano. Gustav Lange was a German composer known mainly for melodious salon music for the piano, and he was born on 13 August 1830 in Schwerstedt, near Erfurt, in Prussian Saxony. Lange's first musical instruction came from his father, who taught him piano and organ. Conservatory work came next, covering piano, organ, thorough bass and composition, and it probably took place at Berlin's Royal Institute for Church Music. Lange's teachers included August Wilhelm Bach, Eduard Grell and Albert Lƶschhorn. A father who taught him piano and organ, beside around 500 mostly light piano pieces, may point to the piano as a main thread in Lange's output. Lange wrote around 500 piano pieces, mostly light and popular ones, and the success of some 1860s compositions encouraged him to turn out a large number of works. Edelweiss, op. 31, and Blumenlied, op. 39, also known in English as Flower Song, are perhaps two of Lange's best-known works today. Blumenlied among his perhaps best-known works today, beside a death at Wernigerode in 1889, may point to music that is still named well after Lange's lifetime. Lange lived for many years in Berlin and died at Wernigerode on 20 July 1889. A birth in Schwerstedt in Prussian Saxony, beside many years in Berlin, may suggest a life spent in more than one part of Germany.
