Hungarian composer Ernö Dohnányi (1877-1960) wrote Four Rhapsodies, Op. 11, in 1903, publishing them under his German name, Ernst von Dohnányi. One of his two sons, Hans, was brother-in-law to Dietrich Bonhoeffer and a leader of the anti-Nazi resistance in Germany. Hans was later executed for being part of a plot to assassinate Hitler. After World War II, Dohnányi moved to the United States, where he became fascinated by American folk music and jazz. He taught for ten years at Florida State University’s School of Music, which hosts a large archive of his manuscripts today. Dohnányi also recorded a number of works, including Beethoven and Schubert piano sonatas. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ern%C5%91_Dohn%C3%A1nyi.
