 | | SPOHR, LUDWIG [Spohr, Ludwig], 1784-1859, German composer, conductor, and violinist. |
 | | A mannered chromaticism, derived from Mozart, anticipated that of Wagner, whose works Spohr was one of the first to champion. |
 | | As a violinist, Spohr developed a style which, through his teaching and his famous Violinschule (1831), became the basis for the German school of violin playing. |
