Biography
August H. Winding
The Danish composer, Henrik August Winding, was the son of a clergyman who had a passion for collecting and arranging Danish folk songs.
Naturally, August studied with his father. Soon, however, he was to move to greater things; he studied piano with Anton Ree who had known Frédéric Chopin. This was followed by composition lessons with Carl Reinecke and theory with no less a person than Niels Wilhelm Gade, the father of Danish music.
