Henry Charles Litolff (5 February 1818 –5/6 August 1891) was a piano virtuoso, composer of Romantic music and music publisher. He became a prolific composer, although he is now known mainly as the founder of the Litolff Edition of classical and modern music. He died at Bois-Colombes near Paris.
His most notable works were the four Concertos Symphoniques, essentially symphonies with piano obbligato. The first one, in D minor, is lost; the others (which, though not regularly heard in the concert repertoire, are all available in modern recordings) are:
Concerto Symphonique No. 2 in B minor, Op. 22 (1844)
Concerto Symphonique No. 3 in E flat, Op. 45 (c.1846)
Concerto Symphonique No. 4 in D minor, Op. 102 (c.1852)
Concerto Symphonique No. 5 in C minor, Op. 123 (c.1867)
