Preface
Although born in Bavaria, Baron Franckenstein grew up in Vienna – in fact his younger brother Georg would become Austrian ambassador to London – but moved to Munich to pursue a musical career, studying with Ludwig Thuille, before he entered the Hoch Konservatorium in Frankfurt. There he studied with Iwan Knorr, and met fellow student Hans Pfitzner, and became a sort of honorary member of the ‘Frankfurt Group’ of Percy Grainger, Cyril Scott, Henry Balfour Gardiner, Roger Quilter and Norman O’Neill – for instance he sang in a private concert of Grainger’s choral works in London in May 1903, conducted by the composer. —
