Conrad Brumann (~1480-1526) was a German organist.

Biography & Works

Luscinius numbers him among the pupils of Paul Hofhaimer. From 1513 on, Brumann was employed at the cathedral of Speyer, and he is referred to by this title in Kleber's tablature.

In said source, his compositions are identified by the initials V. S. (presumably for "von Speyer"). Similarly to his teacher, Brumann made use of unusually virtuosic diminutions.
