Franz Ries

Franz Ries (7 April 1846 in Berlin – 20 June 1932 in Naumburg) was a Romantic German violinist and composer, son of Hubert Ries.[1] He studied at the Paris Conservatory. He also worked in the publishing business.[2]

Career

edit

His talent formed under the direction of his father and in the Paris Conservatory under the violinist Joseph Massart, but after a short, brilliant career, he abandoned it suffering under a nerve problem, and settled in Dresden as a music retailer in 1875, where he still occasionally composed and performed on the violin. Then, from 1884 until his death, he lived as a co-owner of the company R. & Erler Berlin.[3][citation needed]
