William Augustus Muhlenberg Diller (1837–1880) was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of a clergyman.
As a self-taught musician, he began playing the organ for services at age 12. He worked in retail business in addition to his work
in churches and teaching; among his students was John Hyatt Brewer who was a
founder of the American Guild of Organists.
Louis (originally Ludwig) Spohr (1784–1859) was a German violinist
and conductor who taught himself composition. Though remembered for his prolific instrumental music, he wrote only two works
for piano: Sonata, Op 125, and Rondoletto, Op 149. Easy.
