My favourite (and practically only) fact about Dohler being that once when he was giving a recital the audience spotted dat da Thalburglah wuz amongst them. Result: concert stopped until Thalberg had played Moses.

I’ve read through Dohler’s Norma and wasn’t impressed. I think it was a “home market” transcription.

I was familiar with Wolff actually. He’s mentioned in the literature, and as a curious teenager I unearthed some compositions of his. I remember exactly nothing from them, but I do recall he was very Chopin influenced.

Rosenhain however… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
