Machine translation, like
DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.

He was born in the town of
Ruhla, son of composer
Georg Heinrich Lux. His father gave him his first music lessons, and Lux later became a student of
Friedrich Schneider.
Between 1841 and 1850, he was Director of the Opera in
Dessau and from 1851 to 1857 performed the same role in
Mainz for the
Mainz Singing Academy.[1]
In addition, Friedrich Lux wrote a missa brevis, festival overtures, numerous organ pieces, three string quartets and a piano trio as well as numerous choral works for different voices. There has been renewed interest in Lux's works since his death. The Lux Festival Association has been organizing concert series in its hometown of Ruhla and the Wartburg region in Thuringia since 2011 and the Lux Festival since 2013.
