Life
Zwintscher attended the Dresden Kreuzschule before he became a student of Louis Plaidy at the Leipzig Conservatory in 1856 . From 1875 to 1896 Zwintscher himself worked as a piano teacher at this conservatory. Afterwards he worked as a private teacher in Dresden. His piano technique is an extension of Plaidy's work. He also issued musical decorations .
