Von Ertmann, Dorothea (1781–1849)
German-Austrian pianist. Born in Offenbach am Main, Germany, on May 3, 1781; died in Vienna, Austria, on March 16, 1849; studied with Beethoven who was her great admirer.
Although she was born in Offenbach am Main, Germany, in 1781, Von Ertmann moved to Vienna and quickly established herself as a famous performer and member of that city's cultivated social elite. Von Ertmann's playing was a constant delight to Beethoven. She studied with him briefly in 1803 and often performed his new compositions in concerts and recitals. His great Sonata No. 28 in A major, Op. 101, is dedicated to her.
