Franz Dorfmüller

Franz Dorfmüller (17 April 1887 in Regensburg – 8 July 1974 in Munich at age 87) was a German pianist, piano teacher and music writer. In addition to guest performances and lectures, he was active at the main venues of Munich, Regensburg, Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and Nuremberg.[1]

Well-known pupils of Dorfmüller were Hermann Reutter, Heinz Pauels, Franz Josef Breuer, Günter Wand and Karl Holl. During his studies he became a member of the AGV München.[2]

In 1927, Dorfmüller, who was already working as a university lecturer, joined the composer Fritz Büchtger (1903-1978) and the young pianist Udo Dammert (1904-2003) as co-founders of the Vereinigung für zeitgenössische Musik.[3]
