Ernst Jedliczka
German pianist of Russian origin (1855-1904)
Ernst Jedliczka (24 May 1855 – 3 August 1904) was a Russian-German pianist, piano pedagogue, and music critic. The Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition stated that Jedliczka "did much to spread Russian music in Germany, placing Russian composers in a prominent place within his concerts and devoting them to a series of articles."
Biography
Born in Poltava, Jedliczka was the son of Ukrainian composer Alois Jedliczka. In 1876 he earned diplomas in mathematics and physics from Saint Petersburg State University. He then pursued studies at the Moscow Conservatory (MC) where he was a piano student of Anton Rubinstein, Nikolai Rubinstein and Charles Klindworth. After graduating from the MC in 1879, he taught on the piano faculty of the MC from 1880-1887. He then taught at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin from 1888–1897 and at the Stern Conservatory from 1897 until his death in 1904. His notable pupils included Charles Tomlinson Griffes, W. H. Hewlett, John J. McClellan, Ella Scoble Opperman, Arthur Nevin, Olga Samaroff, and Bruno Seidler-Winkler.
Jedlickza was a member of a notable trio in Berlin whose other members included violinist Karel Halíř and cellist Hugo Dechert. The trio notably presented the world premieres and Berlin premieres of several works by Hans Pfitzner. He also wrote music criticism for the German newspaper Allgemeine deutsche Musikzeitung for many years.

Why this record matters
“Ernst Jedliczka” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ernst, Jedliczka and German provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4174050. VIAF identifies the subject as 781224. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1855, 1904, 1876 and 1879.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
