Translated from German Wikipedia Michael Raucheisen (9 February 1889, Rain, Swabia - 27 May 1984, Beatenberg) was a German pianist and song accompanist. Music was inherited, for the young Michael. His father, by vocation a master-glazier, was organist, church choir leader and musical pedagogue. The musical development of his only son was so important to the family that they left the small town in which they lived. From 1902 Raucheisen lived in Munich, and from 1920 until the end of his pianistic activity in 1958, in Berlin. Read more on Last.fm
