It was great to see some pieces by Fritz Zierau becoming available on IMSLP in the 150th anniversary year of his birth.  Zierau was a prodigy, who wrote a string quartet at age 13, and went on to study music in Berlin and Magdeburg.  From 1904 he was a prominent musician in the German-Polish border town of Guben (now divided between the countries) where he conducted, composed, and taught singing.  As a composer, he seems best-known for his oratorios "Christus der Tröster" and "Jairos".
