In 1870, at the age of 14, Julius Röntgen visited Franz Liszt in Weimar; after playing piano for him he was invited to a soiree at Liszt's house.
In Leipzig, he and his parents were part of the musical circle around Heinrich von Herzogenberg, and it was at their house that he first met Brahms. Later Röntgen moved to Munich, where he studied piano under Franz Lachner, a friend of Franz Schubert. At the age of 18 he became a professional pianist. During a concert tour through southern Germany he became acquainted with the singer Julius Stockhausen; at this time he also met a Swedish music student Amanda Maier (1853-1894), whom he would marry in 1880.
Amanda Maier was a gifted composer and violinist. I uploaded her fine Violin Sonata, watch it here:

In 1883, in association with composers Frans Coenen and Daniel de Lange, Röntgen founded the Amsterdam Conservatory. In 1884 Röntgen was heavily involved in the foundation of the Concertgebouw. He also was close friends with Johannes Brahms and performed his 2nd Concerto in 1887 with Brahms conducting.
Röntgen's travels and concerts made him a well known musical figure in Europe his friend's circle included Edvard Grieg, Johannes Brahms, Niels Gade, Carl Nielsen, Donald Tovey, Pablo Casals, Johannes Messchaert, Percy Grainger, etc. etc.

Fourth movement is truly amazing
Beautiful and melodic! Röntgen's Cello Sonatas are among my favourite rare repertoire discoveries.
It is really unfortunate that such a masterpiece is so underrated. It is comparable to Grieg's Cello Sonata, for instance
Bravo bravo bravo bravo
My teacher is the best!!😍❤❤👏👏
Zeer mooi. Er zit iets Frans/Fauré-achtigs in.
1st mvt ending, is it done, nope more higher, oh is it done yet, nope lets go bit higher, no let's go even higher
Great compositional use of the full range offered by both instruments
Un autre compositeur qui ne reçoit pas toute l'attention qu'il mérite...
Has any poet used the 1st movement melody as a vocal solo?
