Oskar Wermann was born in Germany in 1840. After teacher's
training school, Wermann moved to Dresden where he was
promoted by Friedrich Wieck, the father of the pianist
Clara Schumann. Wieck promoted Wermann and convinced him
to devote his life to music. Wermann studied organ with
Gustav Merkel and later with Moritz Hauptmann at the
Leipzig Conservatory. Wermann later taught music in
Wesserling (Alsace), the academy in Neuchâtel
(Switzerland), and the Royal Academy in Dresden. In 1873
he became the Royal Music Executive Director. He died in
1903.
