Carl Cohn Haste

Carl Cohn Haste (7 December 1874 – 4 June 1939) was a Danish pianist, organist and composer. Blind from the age of 5 after an eye inflammation, he became music teacher at the Royal Blind Institute, composer and the first president of Danish Association of the Blind.

From 1883–1892 he was a pupil at the Blind Institute. Then he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Music from 1893–1895 under Victor Bendix and Orla Rosenhof. In 1896 he made his debut as concert pianist and from 1898 he was employed as the Blind Institute as a music teacher. Most of the blind organists who were employed in the early 20th century were trained by him. Alongside his teaching work and organization work, he was in the younger years regularly away on concert tours across Denmark, Sweden and Germany.

In 1928 Carl Cohn was awarded the Knight of the Dannebrog.

gollark: (*On human bee density maximization*, GTech™ truth cuboid 6145722.3, 2026)
gollark: Now, all humans are approximately bee density maximizers.
gollark: As a hypothetical bee density maximizer, it is obvious that I would not in fact want to die, since this would reduce future bee density; even though my future bee-density-maximizing self, due to not existing, would not be around to care, since I care about future things (or, well, estimations of future things?), it would be incorrect to die, as this would reduce estimated future bee density.
gollark: Yes it is. Their argument is wrong and bad.
gollark: But I don't want to do that, because it would unsatisfy those worldly goals.
