Short bio Max Wagenknecht
Full biography Max Wagenknecht
Max Wagenknecht was a German composer who lived from 1857 to 1922. He was known for his works for the organ and his compositions for choir. Wagenknecht studied at the Berlin University of the Arts under Friedrich Kiel and later with Franz Wullner and Karl Reinecke. He also took private composition lessons from Joseph Joachim Raff.
Wagenknecht's music is known for being richly harmonized and melodically pleasing. Some of his most famous works include his Toccata in F major and his Choralvorspiele zu den Osterliedern. His music has been described as a unique blend of German Romanticism and the French organ tradition.
Wagenknecht's life was tragically cut short when he passed away at the age of 64 in 1922. His legacy has lived on, however, through his music and the many recordings of his works that are still available today.
