Franz Ludwig Marschner’s Scientific and Compositional Heritage
For the first time, a biographical essay in Russian about the Austrian composer, philosopher and musicologist Franz Ludwig Marschner (1855-1932) has been compiled on the basis of printed sources and preserved manuscripts. His important scientific works in different fields of music aesthetics and harmony (functional theory) are highlighted. The scientific examination showed that among his musical compositions the leading role is shared by vocal music with lyrics (more than 150 songs) and instrumental chamber ensembles.
