Taubert was a "German conductor, composer and pianist... Mendelssohn and Taubert both studied piano with [Ludwig] Berger, and correspondence between the two survives... Many of [Taubert's] compositions were reviewed in Schumann's Neue Zeitschrift für Musik... Schumann also asked Taubert to contribute to the journal, documented in their surviving correspondence." Stephan D. Lindeman in Grove Music Online.
