Edward MacDowell (December 18, 1860 – January 23, 1908) was an American composer and pianist of the Romantic period. He was best known for his second piano concerto and his piano suites Woodland Sketches, Sea Pieces and New England Idylls. After his death, MacDowell was considered as a great, internationally known American composer. However, as the twentieth century progressed, his fame was eclipsed by such American composers as Charles Ives, Aaron Copland, and Roy Harris.

Alexandra Oehler (born February 22, 1970 in Ronneburg, Thuringia) is a German classical pianist. As a pianist, Alexandra Oehler has won acclaim in realms beyond the usual piano repertoire, turning her attention to such unjustifiably neglected works as Clara Schumann‘s Piano Concerto, pieces by Fanny Mendelsohn and by the American composer Edward MacDowell. Since 2001 Alexandra Oehler has taught a piano class as an instructor at the Leipzig College of Music. She also works as a teacher with the Thomanerchor Leipzig.
