Heinrich Elkamp (* 1812 in Itzehoe (according to other information: 1810 in Hamburg ), † 1868 in Hamburg) was a German composer, pianist, music teacher and music critic.

Life

Elkamp studied with Johann Hermann Clasing and Carl Friedrich Zelter . He settled in Hamburg, where he worked as a composition teacher and composer. His Fantasy and Variations, Op. 15 , were reviewed by Robert Schumann in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik in 1836 , but Schumann barely gave the work a good hair and described it as “a ruin, if you will, for which no critic can lay down a rule can ". He composed an oratorio Paulus , which was performed on November 19, 1835 in the main church Sankt Michaelis and in 1838 by the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin , and was published in print as a piano reduction in 1836. The oratorio The Holy Time followed in 1837 . Elkamp also wrote music reviews in the Hamburger Nachrichten . From 1842 to 1851 he lived in Saint Petersburg , after which he returned to Hamburg.
