Life

Hans Grisch was the son of businessman Rudolf Grisch († 1885) and Anna, b. Müller. He grew up in Bremen, where he attended secondary school. Originally he was supposed to be a merchant, but instead turned to music. He completed his music studies from 1902 to 1906 in Leipzig at the Royal Conservatory (today the "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" University of Music and Theater). His teachers included Robert Teichmüller (piano), Stephan Krehl (theory and composition) and Richard Hofmann ( instrumentation ). In 1907 Grisch took up a position as theater conductor in Bremen.

In 1909, Grisch was appointed piano lecturer at the Royal Conservatory in Leipzig. At the time, colleagues included Karl Straube , Robert Teichmüller and Max Reger .

One of his students was the Icelandic composer Páll Ísólfsson , who studied composition with Grisch between 1913 and 1924. He had a lifelong friendship with him. To Iceland had Grisch a special relationship; From the 1930s onwards he was given several teaching assignments as a visiting professor at the Reykjavík Music School and was recognized for his work by the Icelandic state.

During the First World War , Grisch did military service. In 1923 he married Ina Ketels, widowed Drewitz.

After the Second World War, Grisch continued to work at the Leipzig University of Music and Theater; the rebuilding of the teaching there was important to him. In 1951 he received a professorship for music theory. In September 1952 he left regular teaching, but continued to teach as an emeritus .

As a composer he mainly wrote chamber music and songs.
