The French monthly magazine "Diapason" (January 1914) dedicates a fairly rich article to Friedrich Gernsheim, underlining that he lived six years (albeit very young) in Paris.
Under the title "L'illustre inconnu" the article is much more than simply respectful. It treats F.G. as a great composer sadly neglected, but recently enjoyning revivals.
A cycle of chamber concerts featuring Gernsheim, Brahms and Schumann is announced at the Auditorium du Louvre from 10th of Juanuary up to the 27th of March 2014 (but no notice about programs; and apparently no broadcast).
