Woldemar Bargiel (1828–1897) was a German composer in the Romantic style. Bargiel was born on 3rd October 1828 in Berlin, the half brother of Clara Schumann. His father Adolph was a well-known piano and voice teacher, and his mother Mariane had been unhappily married to Clara’s father, Friedrich Wieck. Clara was nine years older than Woldemar.

Upon the suggestion of Schumann and the recommendation of Mendelssohn, Bargiel at the age of sixteen went to study at the famous Leipzig Conservatory with two of the leading men of music: Ignaz Moscheles (piano) and Niels Wilhelm Gade (composition). After leaving Leipzig in 1850, he returned to Berlin where he tried to make ends meet by giving private lessons. Eventually, the Schumanns were able to arrange for the publication of some of his early works, including his first piano trio. Bargiel went on to hold positions at the conservatories in Cologne and Rotterdam, before accepting a position at the prestigious Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, where he taught for the rest of his life. Among his many students were Paul Juon and Leopold Godowsky. Besides teaching and composing, Bargiel served w
