Hanns Wolf (June 7, 1894 - July 2, 1968) was a post-romantic and modern composer and pianist,[1] nearly all his works were destroyed after World War One and World War Two.[2]
Hanns Wolf was born on June 7, 1894 in Bamberg, Germany. Little is known about his childhood, however from 1908 to 1912, he studied under Max Meyer-Olbersleben (composition) and Henry van Zeyl (piano) in the Wuerzburg Music Conservatory.[2]
From 1912 to 1924 he was a private teacher for piano, first in Essen from the year 1913 to 1914, then in Aschaffenburg from 1914 to 1924.[2]
After 1924, he was a professor in the Augsburg Musikhochschule, now known as Leopold Mozart Centre of the University of Augsburg,[2] he also played piano around Europe until the outbreak of World War Two, forcing him to stay in Germany. He continued to held his position as a professor in the university until the war ended in 1945, when he resigned as a professor and lived as an independent composer and pianist.
He died at the age of 74 on July 2, 1968.
A majority of his work has been destroyed or lost, this reason most likely was political, but it is still uncertain. As a pianist, he performed with Otto Klemperer, Georg Ludwig Jochum, and Eduard van Beinum. [2]
His compositions were mostly piano related, and despite mostly being destroyed, Karl Urlberger rediscovered them in 1996.[3]
