“Though Joachim Raff is recognized as a Swiss composer, his family was German in origin. He was born in the village of Lachen near Lake Zurich after his father had fled to Switzerland to avoid being enlisted as a soldier. Raff was largely self-taught, but his skill attracted the backing of two great talents. First, Felix Mendelssohn arranged for Raff’s early piano pieces to be printed. Then, in 1845, Raff walked to Basle to meet Franz Liszt, who was so impressed with him that he found him work in a piano shop and even let him share his home. In 1856, Raff moved to Wiesbalden, where he married, settled, and concentrated on composing and teaching music.”
