From the period sources
Jean Louis Nicodé, born in Jerzyc, near Posen, in 1853, was a German composer who also distinguished himself as a pianist and teacher. He studied under Hartkaes, Wiierst, and T. Kullak, later becoming a teacher at Kullak’s Academy in Berlin, and a piano teacher at the Dresden Conservatory, according to the Biographical Dictionary of Musicians (1886). Nicodé also traveled throughout Europe as a concert pianist. His influence as an educator is further noted in A Biographical Dictionary of Musicians (1900) and its 1905 edition, which record that Konrad Heubner studied under Nicodé in Dresden in 1881, and Emil Kronke, a prize-winning pianist, was also a pupil of Nicodé in Dresden. Nicodé’s compositions include a “Maria Stuart” symphony, Op. 4, and an “Introduktion und Scherzo” for orchestra, Op. 11, alongside various piano pieces, Lieder, and a romance for violin and orchestra.
