Anselm Hüttenbrenner - Piano Sonata in E-major, Op.16 (1826)

[@remon563]

On one visit, when Schubert called with Anselm Hüttenbrenner, Beethoven remarked, "You, Anselm have my mind, but Franz (schubert) has my soul."

[@erikschaffer2038]

I lived in the house where Hüttenbrenner died. He is not known very well in Austria. Even in Graz where he came from (and a street in my neighborhood is called Hüttenbrennergasse) most people never heard his music. I only know this composer because on the house there is a small marble plate to remember him.

Hi! With the slim chance of you reading this: Can you tell me where the house is?

[@erikschaffer2038]

Rotmoosweg 2, 8045 Graz Pink house at the Andritz creek. It was rebuilt in the 90ies, does not look like a historic place at all. Don't waste your time for a visit. I only know about this, because there is some unremarkable memorial stone in the wall. I didn't even know it was an old house, when I lived there. @@JwieJassii

Thank you so much! I'd still want to have a look at it when I'm finally visiting Graz, I'm a lineal descendant of Hüttenbrenners :)@@erikschaffer2038

[@erikschaffer2038]

Oh, I see. Then you can take a short walk on the little alley called "Am Hüttenbrenneranger" which is close to the house. But there is really more interesting stuff to visit in Graz. :-) @@JwieJassii

A very bright and picturesque sonata. It has a quality of its own and influenced by Beethoven and Schubert. Sadly a virtually unknown composer.

[@JwieJassii]

Anselm Hüttenbrenner was my great great great great grandfather :)

[@mcrettable]

no way...

[@JwieJassii]

mcrettable in every way! :D

[@mauritssteemers389]

JwieJassii Kennen Sie auch Jakob Lorber? Sie waren Freunde Anselm und Lorber.

[@mauritssteemers389]

Wauw Darf ich ihre Unterschritt?

[@JwieJassii]

Habe davon gelesen, ja :)

[@brianknapp8645]

Sounds a lot like Schubert. I guess this composer was a friend of Schubert. Very pleasant sonata, and I would like to hear more by this composer.

[@JwieJassii]

Brian Knapp he was :)

[@mcrettable]

I see you everywhere man xD

[@loganfruchtman953]

I’d say more Beethoven well Schubert did sound a lot like Beethoven

[@herrvonunknowngut7141]

A very romantic composiition . Are there some scores from him availebale?.

[@galas062]

danke!!!

[@canman5060]

He is Schubert's best friend.

[@gregoryroscow5846]

Very pleasant, and instantly forgettable!

[@erika6651]

You might be right. I was rereading about Beethoven's final moments and (thought I had) discovered this guy's name tonight. A KZbin search had this peace as its first selection, and I was surprised to find a red line under it. I rechecked my history, and apparently I actually listened to this 3 years ago. I have no memory of this, the composer, or the composition.

[@seanpendulum5121]

Unjustly neglected composer....

[@metodoinstinto]

It sounds like a study composition. Uninspired and forgettable.

[@lovethepiano]

I disagree.
