Ramann, Bruno

1830-

German teacher and composer; cousin of Lina; born at Erfurt, and began a commercial career, which he followed until nearly thirty years of age, and then laid aside for music. After some study under Brendel and Riedel, and five years' work under Hauptmann at Leipsic, he settled at Dresden as a teacher, and composed more than fifty works, including a number of songs and part-songs and piano-pieces, but nothing of real value.
