Berthold Knetsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Berthold Knetsch (born March 16, 1855 in Zedlitz near Schweidnitz , † 1923 ) was a German music teacher and music writer.

Life

Knetsch attended the teachers' college in Breslau from 1872 to 1875 and was then a teacher in Schönwalde and Stettin . In 1877 he studied briefly at the Leipzig Conservatory and finally worked from 1878 to 1887 as a teacher at the Conservatory in Stettin, which he took over in 1891. In 1893 he founded his own piano and theory school in Stettin, from which the so-called Riemann Conservatory emerged, which Knetsch opened on October 16, 1899 and directed until 1907.

In 1907 Knetsch moved to Berlin , where in 1908 he became a lecturer in musicology at the Free University, an institute for adult education founded in 1902 that merged with the Humboldt Academy in 1915 .

The composer Justus Hermann Wetzel , who taught at the Riemann Conservatory from 1905 to 1907, described Knetsch as an “excellent music teacher” who also familiarized him with the writings of Hugo Riemann , who gave him his name .
