Ludwig Spohr

Ludwig Spohr (1784-1859), also Louis Spohr, was a German musical composer and violinist, born in Brunswick. He produced both operas and oratorios, "Faust" among the former, the "Last Judgment" and the "Fall of Babylon" among the latter. His violin-playing was admirable, producing from the tones of the instrument the effects of the human voice. He wrote a handbook for violinists.
