His early life was marked by musical training; at the age of 19, he became a student at the Royal Music School in Munich, studying under professors Josef Gabriel Rheinberger and Max Hieber until 1881.

During this period, he worked for the Munich art dealer Jakob Anger, often signing his works with the name Renardt.

His violin concerto was premiered by the violinist Felix Berber. While he produced many works, Thomassin himself withdrew much of his early musical output composed before 1908.
