Heinrich August Marschner is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Heinrich August Marschner as German composer (1795–1861).
Heinrich August Marschner was born at Zittau in 1795. His recorded nationality is Germany.
The concert hall and the public audience were new in this period; music was beginning to be written for buyers rather than employers.
He worked as conductor and composer.
His work is classed as opera, classical music and incidental music.
What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.
That the work came out of Germany shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Heinrich August Marschner died in 1861, aged 66. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
