Heinrich Marschner
Heinrich Marschner, was born in Zittau/Saxony on August 16, 1795 and passed away in Hanover on December 14, 1861.
He studied law in Leipzig and Vienna - then music. In Vienna he met Ludwig van Beethoven. Being a privat music instructor in Pressburg, he composed his first operas.
1822, Marschner moved to Dresden and became orchestra-master. Two operas made him famous: "Der Vampyr" (1828) and "Der Templer und die Juedin" (1829) - following Scott's "Ivanhoe".
1831, Marschner became Royal Orchestra Master in Hanover. His master piece "Hans Heiling" has been publised in 1833.
Marschner's operas are deeply romantic with nightly horror-elements and demonic gestures, while his chamber music compositions didn't carry through.
