Adolf von Henselt (12 May 1814 – 10 October 1889) was a German composer and pianist. To some ears, Henselt's playing combined Franz Liszt's sonority with Hummel's smoothness. It was full of poetry, remarkable for his use of extended chords and technique. His Piano Concerto in F minor, Op. 16 was once frequently played in Europe, and of his many valuable studies, Étude in F-sharp major Si oiseau j'étais was very popular. Despite his relatively long life, Henselt ceased nearly all composition by the age of thirty and withdraw from concert appearances by age thirty-three.
