Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Lorenz Schwietz (born 1850, died May 1925 in Breslau) was Royal Prussian executioner (German: ) from 21 June 1900 to 29 January 1914. Responsible for carrying out capital punishment in the Prussian provinces, he executed a total of 120 to 123 people, primarily by beheading with an axe, but also with guillotines. Lorenz Schwietz was born 25 July 1850 in Groß Döbern (now Dobrze Wielki), Oppeln county, Prussian province of Silesia. In his early years, he worked as a butcher, first in Breslau (now Wroclaw), where he received the respective education, later in Ratibor (now Racibórz, both in Silesia), before he returned to Breslau to open a butchery. Since 1886, he ran a knacker's yard in Breslau, and in addition worked as an assistant of Royal Prussian executioner Julius Krautz. Krautz, a knacker from Charlottenburg, resigned from the executioner's office after he had slain his assistant Gummich in April 1889 in a pub brawl, resulting from a dispute about the legitimacy of Krautz's punishments for Gummich's drunkenness at work. Schwietz was considered to take over an executioner's office by the Breslau state procecutor, but since Schwietz had a criminal record, he was rejected. Executions in Prussia were then carried out by members of the Reindel family, a "dynasty of executioners". Friedrich Reindel retired in 1898, and Wilhelm Reindel had to resign in 1901 when, after continuous reports about his drunkenness and "feeble-minded" appearance at work, he was unable to cut off a victim's head with the first blow of his axe. On 21 June 1900, Schwietz was examined executioner, and on 8 and 9 August, he performed his first executions. ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25915036 ... Read more

Von 1941 bis 1942 diente Schmidt als Offizier an der Ostfront und war u. a. an der Blockade Leningrads beteiligt; er erhielt das Eiserne Kreuz 2. Klasse. Anschließend war er bis 1944 als Referent für Ausbildungsvorschriften der leichten Flakartillerie im Reichsluftfahrtministerium in Berlin und in Bernau eingesetzt.

Chapters: Franz Schmidt, David Popper, János Starker, Laszlo Varga, Gábor Rejtő, Andor Toth, Jr., András Fejér, Mirko Dorner. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 47. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Franz Schmidt (December 22, 1874 February 11, 1939) was an Austrian composer, cellist and pianist. Schmidt was born in Pressburg, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (this is now Bratislava, Slovakia). His earliest teacher was his mother, an accomplished pianist, who gave him a systematic instruction in the keyboard works of J. S. Bach. He received a thorough foundation in theory from brother Felizian Moczik, the outstanding organist at the Franciscan church in Pressburg. He studied piano briefly with Theodor Leschetizky, with whom he clashed. He moved to Vienna with his family in 1888, and studied at the Vienna Conservatory (composition with Robert Fuchs, cello with Ferdinand Hellmesberger and theory (the counterpoint class) with Anton Bruckner), graduating "with excellence" in 1896. He beat 13 other applicants in obtaining a post as cellist with the Vienna Court Opera Orchestra, with whom he played, often under Mahler, until 1914. Mahler habitually had all the cello solos played by Schmidt, even though Friedrich Buxbaum was actually the principal cellist. Schmidt was also in demand as a chamber musician, playing in the string quartet led by Arnold Schoenbergs close friend Oskar Adler, who also became Schmidts doctor: Schmidt and Schoenberg maintained cordial relations despite their vast differences in style. In 1914 he took up a professorship (in piano) at the Vienna Conservatory, which had been recently renamed to Imperial Academy of Music and the Performing Arts. In 1925 he became Director of the Academy, and from 1927 to 1931 Rector. As teacher for piano, cello, counterpoint and composition...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11768 ... Read more

Excerpt: Sigismond Thalberg (January 8, 1812 April 27, 1871) was a composer and one of the most distinguished virtuoso pianists of the 19th century. Sigismond Thalberg was born in Pâquis near Geneva, Switzerland, on January 8, 1812. According to his birth certificate, he was the son of "Joseph Thalberg" and "Fortunée Stein", both from Frankfurt-am-Main, but the names in the birth certificate are now regarded as fictitious. For reasons of Thalberg's illegitimate birth, during his lifetime it was common use not to call his parents true names. François-Joseph Fétis, in the article "Thalberg" in his Biographie universelle des musiciens (1863), therefore wrote that Thalberg was son of a Prince M.. D.. and a Baroness W....
