Biography

He was a student at the University of Leipzig, University of Berlin, and University of Freiburg up until the year 1840. In 1846 he began teaching music history at the Leipzig Conservatory, and in 1852 he published a well-regarded general history of European music. Brendel also published a book on Franz Liszt.

He was the editor of the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik,[1] taking over in 1845 the position relinquished by Robert Schumann (in 1844) and remaining in post until his death in 1868.[2] Brendel coined the phrase Neudeutsche Schule (New German School) to describe the progressive musical movement in Germany headed by Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt in the middle of the nineteenth century. He died in Leipzig.

gollark: Also, I don't think stuff is *generally* regulated based on summing up long term expected happiness change or something? Perhaps it should be, but it's very hard to calculate and runs into problems, and (in my opinion as a libertarian-leaning person) leads to stuff which is "out of scope" of government actions.
gollark: You're stereotyping in some vaguely rude way with ~0 empirical data to back it up.
gollark: I suspect you're ridiculously overgeneralizing and/or, er, what's the word, patronising? a bunch of people.
gollark: "Benefit to society" is vague and seems to mostly just work as a bludgeon to complain about things which don't have some obvious and Morally Pure™ justification to exist.
gollark: I'm speaking (typing) in general, I mean.
