One of his seven siblings was the wealthy financier <a href="/wiki/Otto_Hermann_Kahn" title="Otto Hermann Kahn">Otto Kahn</a> whose son <a href="/wiki/Roger_Wolfe_Kahn" title="Roger Wolfe Kahn">Roger Wolfe Kahn</a> was a successful jazz musician, composer and aviator. His parents belonged to a distinguished <a href="/wiki/German-Jewish" class="mw-redirect" title="German-Jewish">German-Jewish</a> family of bankers and merchants. In 1882, Kahn entered the <a href="/wiki/Berlin_University_of_the_Arts" title="Berlin University of the Arts">Königlichen Hochschule für Musik</a> in <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a>, where he studied for the next three years.

On a visit to Vienna the following year, Kahn met and befriended composer <a href="/wiki/Johannes_Brahms" title="Johannes Brahms">Johannes Brahms</a>, who offered to make Kahn his pupil.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although Kahn declined the invitation out of diffidence, Brahms's music would exert a profound influence on his compositional style throughout his career.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After finishing his military service, Kahn worked as a freelance composer in Berlin until 1890. For the next three years he was employed as a Korrepetitor (rehearsal pianist) at the Stadttheater in <a href="/wiki/Leipzig" title="Leipzig">Leipzig</a>. Having been appointed lecturer in composition at his alma mater in 1894, Kahn went on to train some of the best-known musicians of the 20th century. His students include the pianists <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Rubinstein" title="Arthur Rubinstein">Arthur Rubinstein</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_Kempff" title="Wilhelm Kempff">Wilhelm Kempff</a>, the conductor <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_Leitner" title="Ferdinand Leitner">Ferdinand Leitner</a>, the composers <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Holland" title="Theodore Holland">Theodore Holland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nikos_Skalkottas" title="Nikos Skalkottas">Nikos Skalkottas</a> and <a href="/wiki/G%C3%BCnter_Raphael" title="Günter Raphael">Günter Raphael</a>, and the violinist Karl Klinger. </p><p>While Kahn was composing and teaching in Berlin he also was active as chamber musician and <i>Lied</i> accompanist in concert with leading soloists and singers of his time, ranging from <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Joachim" title="Joseph Joachim">Joseph Joachim</a> and <a href="/wiki/Richard_M%C3%BChlfeld" title="Richard Mühlfeld">Richard Mühlfeld</a> to <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Busch" title="Adolf Busch">Adolf Busch</a>, from Johann Messchaert to <a href="/wiki/Ilona_Durigo" title="Ilona Durigo">Ilona Durigo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Emmy_Destinn" title="Emmy Destinn">Emmy Destinn</a>. </p><p>In 1916, Kahn was elected to the <a href="/wiki/Prussian_Academy_of_Arts" title="Prussian Academy of Arts">Prussian Academy of Arts</a>, a membership he held until 1934 when the <a href="/wiki/Nazism" title="Nazism">Nazi</a> regime ordered him to resign because he was Jewish. The Nazis also prohibited the publication and performance of his music. This drove him, at the age of 73, to leave Germany for England in 1939 with his wife Katharina, where (as with many <a href="/wiki/List_of_%C3%A9migr%C3%A9_musicians_from_Nazi_Europe_who_settled_in_Britain" title="List of émigré musicians from Nazi Europe who settled in Britain">émigré musicians</a> of the period) he spent the last years of his life in relative obscurity but composing prolifically.

He was also an admirer of <a href="/wiki/Max_Reger" title="Max Reger">Reger</a>. But aside from the Serenade <i>Aus der Jugendzeit</i> ("From Youth") and the <i>Konzertstück</i>, Op. 74 for piano and orchestra in E-flat minor, he mostly avoided the large scale orchestral forms and emotional extravagance of late Romanticism. There are a number of ambitious works for chorus and orchestra, such as the <a href="/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe" title="Johann Wolfgang von Goethe">Goethe</a> setting <i>Mahomets Gesang</i>, Op. 24 (1896), the <i>Sturmlied</i>, Op. 53 for chorus, orchestra and organ (1910), and the <i>Festgesang</i>, Op. 64 for the same forces.<sup id="cite_ref-grove_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-grove-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Of the chamber music there are three violin sonatas,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> two cello sonatas, four piano trios,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> two string quartets, three piano quartets and two piano quintets.

The unconventionally scored Quintet in C minor of 1911 (for piano, violin, cello, clarinet and horn, the same combination used by <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Vaughan_Williams" title="Ralph Vaughan Williams">Vaughan Williams</a> in 1897), has been recorded.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Lieder were also very important to Kahn: he composed around 180 solo songs and 13 duets.<sup id="cite_ref-grove_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-grove-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Kahn was often commissioned to create works for some of the finest musicians of the early decades of the 20th century up to the young <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Busch" title="Adolf Busch">Adolf Busch</a>, with whom Kahn gave the first performance of his Suite, Op. 69 for violin and piano in 1920. His first Violin Sonata in G minor (1886) was dedicated to <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Joachim" title="Joseph Joachim">Joseph Joachim</a>, who asked to perform it when Kahn was still a young student in Berlin. <a href="/wiki/Clara_Schumann" title="Clara Schumann">Clara Schumann</a> mentioned this sonata in her diary. The second Violin Sonata, in A minor, Op. 26 (1897) was dedicated to Joachim, while the String Quartet No. 1 in A major, Op. 8 (1889) was dedicated to and first performed by the Joachim Quartet. The second string quartet was premiered by the Klingler Quartet, successor of the Joachim. His Clarinet Trio, Op. 45 was dedicated to and performed by the famous clarinetist <a href="/wiki/Richard_M%C3%BChlfeld" title="Richard Mühlfeld">Richard Mühlfeld</a> who also inspired Brahms's late chamber compositions. <a href="/wiki/Hans_von_B%C3%BClow" title="Hans von Bülow">Hans von Bülow</a> conducted the <a href="/wiki/Berlin_Philharmonic_Orchestra" class="mw-redirect" title="Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra">Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra</a> in the world première of Kahn's orchestral serenade in 1890. </p><p>His renewed compositional activity after leaving Germany in 1938 resulted in a large collection of piano music, including more than 1,100 pieces.
