Wilhelm Hebenstreit
Wilhelm Hebenstreit (born May 24, 1774 in Eisleben , † April 17, 1854 in Gmunden ) was a German-Austrian journalist and writer .
Life
Hebenstreit studied philology and philosophy in Göttingen , earned his doctorate and went to Vienna in 1811, where he and Johann Schickh founded the “ Viennese magazine for art, literature, theater and fashion ” in 1816 , in which he worked as an editor until 1818. He later worked for the “Collector” and from 1819 to 1821 as a theater critic for the “Wiener Conversationsblatt”.
He published a repeatedly reprinted travel guide entitled The Stranger in Vienna and the Viennese in the Homeland . After Hebenreit's move to Gmunden in 1836, his main work was created, a scientific-literary encyclopedia of aesthetics .
Hebenstreit was a great music lover and was a close friend of Ludwig van Beethoven . With regard to the first edition of the A major piano sonata op. 101 , the composer wrote to his publisher Tobias Haslinger at the beginning of January 1817 : “Please do not show the letter from hebenstreit about the Germanization of the piano forte, but send it back to me, I am already used, as I am neither emptied [!] nor unlearned, to use his advice ”. The work was then given the German title "Sonata for the Hammerklavier", as well as German (instead of Italian) performance designations.
