Victor Bendix
Victor Emanuel Bendix (17 May 1851 in Copenhagen – January 1926) was a Danish composer, conductor and pianist, who came from a Jewish family. His teachers included Niels Gade.
He studied at the conservatory of music at Copenhagen, then newly founded, from 1867 to 1869. He studied piano under August Winding and composition under Niels W. Gade. He visited Germany and other countries abroad; his compositions show the influence of modern German romanticism.
He was also a friend of Carl Nielsen, who dedicated his Symphonic Suite for piano (1894) to Bendix.
In 1879, he married the writer and philanthropist Baroness Rigmor Stampe.
