Biography American composer, pianist, and teacher, Ivan Shed Langstroth (1887-1971), was perhaps best known for his compositions for organ. Langstroth, who was born in Alameda, California, received his early musical training in San Francisco with Theodore Vogt, and in Berlin at the Hochschule für Musik. His composition teachers were Paul Juon and Engelbert Humperdinck, and he studied piano with Josef Lhevinne. Langstroth remained in Europe for many years. Between 1917 and 1920, he toured Scandinavia as a concert pianist, then settled in Vienna where he taught composition and theory at the Neue Wiener Konservatorium from 1921 until 1928. After returning to the United States, Langstroth taught at various institutions in New York City, including the Chatham Square Music School, City College, and Brooklyn College.
