Franz Lehrndorfer (born August 10, 1928 in Salzburg ; † January 10, 2013 in Munich ) was a German organist , composer and music teacher.

Career

Lehrndorfer grew up in Kempten (Allgäu) and received his first music lessons from his father, a choir director and musicologist. He obtained his Abitur at the Kempten Humanistic Gymnasium . From 1948 to 1951 he studied Catholic church music in Munich , where he completed the master class for organ in 1952 .

Professional activities

After completing his studies, Lehrndorfer worked as a music teacher with the Regensburger Domspatzen under cathedral music director Theobald Schrems . In 1962 his pedagogical career began at the Munich University of Music , where he headed the department for Catholic church music and organ from 1969 to 1993. In addition, Lehrndorfer was (as successor to Heinrich Wismeyer ) from 1969 cathedral organist at the Frauenkirche in Munich . Because of a protracted dispute with Domkapellmeister Nies, by which Lehrndorfer felt bullied, he resigned from this position on October 31, 2002. A special focus of his artistic activity was organ improvisation . As an interpreter, he often performed works by Johann Sebastian Bach and Max Reger and also dedicated himself to contemporary composers such as Harald Genzmer and Karl Höller .
