Some further information: Stavenhagen married his second wife Victoria Bogel in early 1909.  He met her at the Geneva Conservatoire where she studied piano. They had a son Hans Bernhard William born 17.8.1909.  Victoria was a concert pianist and is recorded as having been in Chicago with her son in in 1921.  She later returned to Europe taking up residence in Zurich. 
Bernhard Stavenhagen had a sister and I suspect that it is from her that the grand niece is descended.

I cannot trace a child by his first marriage but there is a record of a grandson named Lutz who died aged 52.

I have to thank a cousin for this information.

I refer Alan to my posting on this forum dated 18.4.2016, where his five works for piano and orchestra are listed.

At one time Cobbett's had a chamber music library in Grosvenor Street, London, does anyone know what happened to its contents?

This just goes to show how widely this site is read.  I will follow this lead up. Even if the music is not relevant for this forum, it is important to keep track of it.  Over the years I have seen so much music discarded and lost for ever.

When I posted this, I was hoping someone would have details of the piano concerto and also the six symphonic poems. 

I'm happy for this posting to be deleted if it is thought not appropriate for this forum.
