Xaver Scharwenka
Xaver Scharwenka (January 6, 1850 - December 8, 1924) -- his full name was Franz Xaver Scharwenka -- was a Polish-German musician who was a noted pianist, composer, music educator and organizer. The hyphen between "Polish-German" reflects the fact that Scharwenka was born in Samtner near the city of Poznań, which was then in the province of Posen in Southern Prussia and has since been restored to Poland.
