Eduard von Lannoy

Eduard von Lannoy was a Flemish baron and a specialist clarinet player. Blessed in Brussels, Lannoy resolved with his family members in Graz in youth and came old in the atmosphere of Viennese music that was widespread in the town. After Lannoy finished a more typical education in Graz, his dad allowed him to come back to Brussels, and afterwards, to visit Paris to review music. From 1806 until his loss of life almost 50 years afterwards, Lannoy divided his time taken between Graz and Vienna; in 1818 he became a member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde and eventually was called to its professional board. Lannoy preserved solid friendships with statistics such as for example Franz Liszt, Gaetano Donizetti, and Ignaz Moscheles; nevertheless, he was closest to fellow clarinetist Count number Ferdinando Troyer, the dedicatee of Franz Schubert’s Octet in F main, D. 803. Lannoy was also an effective music instructor and a gifted composer, who constructed in a broad ranging variety of idioms and styles, including opera. Nevertheless, it really is his chamber functions for clarinet, especially his excellent Clarinet Trio in B level main, Op. 15, which has held Lannoy’s name in flow.
