Friedrich Gernsheim (17 July 1839 – 10 September 1916) was a German composer, conductor and pianist. Gernsheim studied with Louis Liebe in Worms, Edward Rosenhain in Frankfurt, and Ignaz Moscheles in Leipzig. was a prolific composer, especially of orchestral, chamber and instrumental music, and songs. His earlier works show the influence of Schumann, and from 1868, a Brahmsian influence is very palpable. Gernsheim taught music at the Cologne Conservatory (his pupils there included Engelbert Humperdinck and Carl Lachmund). In the latter year he became a teacher at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin.

Diogenes Quartett, founded in 1998, is a internationally renowned string quartet based in Munich. Its style shows the influence of the collaboration with pedagogues and other ensembles, such as the Amadeus Quartet and the La Salle Quartet. Since its establishment, the Diogenes Quartet has acquired a large share of the string quartet repertoire, including unknown and contemporary compositions. In recent years, the quartet has recorded all string quartets by Franz Schubert and Max Bruch. Its current members included: Stefan & Gundula Kirpal (violins), Alba González i Becerra (viola) and Stephen Ristau (cello).
