Edward Dannreuther
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Dannreuther (4 November 1844, Strasbourg – 12 February 1905, Hastings) was a German pianist and writer on music resident from 1863 in England. He trained as a musician at the Conservatoire at Leipzig, where he was a pupil of Ignaz Moscheles, a severe critic of the music of Wagner and Franz Liszt. Despite this Dannreuther became a champion of Wagner, and founded the London Wagner Society in 1872. Dannreuther became a professor of piano in the Royal College of Music in 1895, a position which he held until his death.[1] An enthusiast for new music, he was an important influence on the composer Hubert Parry.
His son Hubert Edward Dannreuther was a British admiral and one of six survivors of the sinking of HMS Invincible.
