Jakob Mathias Pazeller (born January 2, 1869 in Baden , Austria-Hungary , † September 24, 1957 in Budapest ) was an Austrian composer and musician.

Life

Jakob Pazeller was the son of Jakob Pazeller and Elisabeth Pichler, who both came from Gumpoldskirchen and ran a bakery in Baden. At the age of 26 he became a conductor at the Vienna Carltheater . In 1906 Pazeller went to Budapest as a military bandmaster, where he stayed until his death in 1957. During this time, Pazeller wrote an opera, two operettas, three overtures and numerous waltzes, songs, marches and other orchestral pieces. His most famous piece was the waltz Souvenir de Herkulesbad , Opus 124, composed in 1903. For the Spanish King Alfonso XIII. he composed a personal wedding march, in return the king awarded him the Cross of Honor, First Class.

Due to the collapse of Austria-Hungary , the Austrian officer, who he was as Kapellmeister, soon lost popularity in Hungary, although he lived in Hungary and had his family there too. After the Second World War , he was placed under censorship by the communist regime. He also lost his pension entitlement. Only because of his illness was he not deported.

His grandson Frigyes Pazeller was also a composer. Together with the Association for Music Research and Concerts 2000 he tried to "rediscover" the works of his grandfather.

Commemorative plaques were placed in Baden as well as in Budapest. In Zebegény , where he spent his vacation from 1929 to 1938, a promenade was named after him.
