Maximilian Hendler (born June 2, 1939 in Radkersburg ) is an Austrian Slavist , composer, author and musicologist .

Hendler initially worked as an antique carpenter; After attending evening middle school from 1962, he studied Byzantine , Slavic and Indo-European studies from 1966 to 1976 at the University of Graz . In 1977 he received his doctorate with distinction ( sub auspiciis praesidentis ). He then worked as an assistant at the Institute for Slavonic Studies in Graz, where he completed his habilitation in 1987 in older Slavic philology and then worked as a university professor. In 2002 he retired . Increasingly, he dealt with music-ethnological issues (regional focus, including the Balkans , Caribbean ) and the history of jazz and its forerunners. His book on the prehistory of jazz was created parallel to a WDR series In the Beginning , which has already (also supervised by Bernd Hoffmann ) several other series, for example on the history of Caribbean music or the worldwide "export" of European music in the early age of discovery Modern times ( Sail away 2001/2002) had preceded. In addition, he was influenced by Josef Matthias Hauer as a composer (among other things he wrote a concertante mass on texts by Josef Fink , premiered in 2001) and published poems.
