Jensen was born in 1837 in Königsberg, Germnay to a family of musicians.  Jensen develope early his love of music from his family but he
self-taught himself mostly piano and later on composing, he then came to the attention of Louis Ehlert who gave him instruction and help
with his composing  and piano playing as well as Louis Köhler,  it was at the  Königsberg Theater he was  invited to play,  and the director
was the music theorist Friedrich Marpurg.

When he reach 19 years of age (early 1856) he had been in correspondence with the renowned composer Robert Schumann and wanted to
take lessons under this great composer but lacked the funds so he decided  to go to Russia to teach Music and Piano in the hope of earning
more money.  Sadly Schumann had died  in the summer of 1856,  Jensen then went to  Poland in 1857 to become  the music director of the
Posen City  Theater,  but shortly after he  decided to move to Denmark,  from 1858 until  1860,  he went to lived in  Copenhagen  and came
into contact with Niels Gade who he became friends with.

After 1860 he returned Königsberg,  were he composed much of  his music from that that time on.   He then taught advance Piano in Berlin
from 1866 until 1868,  but he became seriously ill at this time and this forced him to retire.  He ended up in  Baden-Baden where he died of
tuberculosis at the age of 42.
