Emil Ferstl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Ferstl (born February 16, 1904 in Munich ; † March 12, 1972 ibid) was a German musician , composer and film composer .

Live and act

Little is known about Ferstl's life, not even about his education. There is evidence of a number of published compositions that he wrote for piano ("Fidele Polka"), clarinet and piano ("Mal above, sometimes below"), tenor horn and wind orchestra ("Bravour-Polka"), accordion ("Tango- Melodik ”), xylophone and accompaniment (“ Spanish Dance ”) and saxophones (“ Parade of the Saxophones ”,“ Theme and Variations ”).

In 1949, beginning with a setting for a film made by Theo Lingen in 1945 ( Liebesheirat ), Emil Ferstl wrote the scores for a number of entertainment and documentary films over the next five years. The majority of these strips had a white-blue or alpine plot background and are of no importance in terms of film history. After composing three full-length television films based on models from Peter Rosegger novels in 1963, Ferstl finished his work as a film and television composer.

His son Erich Ferstl has chosen his father's profession.
