Austrian composer and pianist
Carl Frühling (28 November 1868 – 25 November 1937) was an
Austrian
composer and
pianist .
Born in
Lemberg (now Lviv, Ukraine), he attended from 1887 until 1889 the
Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde where he was taught the
piano by
Anton Door and
music theory by
Franz Krenn . He became a piano accompanist and teacher, working with
Bronisław Huberman ,
Pablo de Sarasate ,
Egon Wellesz , and the
Rosé Quartet . He died in Vienna in poverty.
His early piano works are
salon pieces, while his Piano Quintet,
Op. 30, and Clarinet Trio, Op. 40, are more substantial, written in the
Romantic tradition . In 2009, his Piano Quintet was reprinted by Edition Silvertrust. Much of his music is lost or has yet to be uncovered.
Steven Isserlis , the
cellist , has championed his music, some of which he has rediscovered and performed.
