Hermann Goetz

Hermann Gustav Goetz (born Königsberg, December 7, 1840, died Hottingen, December 3, 1876) was a German composer.

After studying in Berlin, he moved to Switzerland in 1863. After ten years spent as a critic, pianist and conductor as well, he spent the last three years of his life composing. The conductor Felix Weingartner found it "incomprehensible that his delightful opera comique, "Der Widerspanstigen Zähmung," should have entirely disappeared from the repertoire." <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Hermann+Goetz">Read more on Last.fm</a>
