About Carl Heins
- Carl Heins (8 June 1859 - 10 September 1923) was a German pianist, and a composer of light salon music in classical music style.
- He wrote both solo piano works and parlor songs. Heins' pieces show a special pianoesque ability to fashion pretty melodies picturesqely in the salon style of the time.
