Friedrich Robert Volkmann (April 6, 1815–October 30, 1883) was a German composer.
Thus Volkmann learned to play the organ and the piano with his father, as well as violin and cello, and by age 12, he was playing the cello part in String Quartets by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
Volkmann believed that a composer should be satisfied with creating in the listeners' minds the desired mood and impression by purely musical means; if the contours of the action and the plot are recognized by the listener, this should be considered a happy coincidence.

 Classical Net Review - Volkmann - Complete Orchestral Works
Friedrich Robert Volkmann was born in Lommatzsch, near Meissen, in April 1815 (a century and a day before Bille Holiday, as it happens), and studied first with his father and then with Carl Ferdinand Becker in Leipzig, where he made Schumann's acquaintance.
Volkmann was not a very prolific composer in those pre-copyright days when quantity helped: though there are 71 opus numbers, most of his works are on a small scale; from the early 1870s, moreover, his urge to compose began to fall away, and not much more was to appear before his death in 1883.
Volkmann was all of 49 before he produced his First Symphony, composed in 1862 - 63, and Brahms 43 (thirteen years later).

 Robert Volkmann String Quartet No.1, Op.9
Friedrich Robert Volkmann (1815-1883) was almost an exact contemporary of Wagner, however, he certainly did not tread the same path as his fellow countryman.
Volkmann forever kept Beethoven in front of him as his model although he was later to fall under the sway of Mendelssohn and then Schumann.
Volkmann's second piano trio was often mentioned in the same breath as Beethoven’s Op.97, “The Archduke.” High praise indeed for a composer whose works today are nearly all out of print.

 Music review: Brahms concert illuminating   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Volkmann was far more adventurous in his fantasylike trio than Brahms ever was; a debt to Liszt emerged periodically.
Still, Volkmann's piece was provocative in its own right.
Dramatic, both formally and harmonically, it was intriguing as Volkman ranged, for example, from an almost hallucinatory waltz to uplifting lyricism.
