Anton Beer-Walbrunn

[2] His teacher Domkapellmeister Widmann in Eichstätt made a significant contribution to him and enabled him to study in Munich from 1888 to 1891 with Joseph Rheinberger, Hans Bußmeyer and Ludwig Abel at the Akademie der Tonkunst.

In 1901 he was appointed teacher for counterpoint, composition, harmony and piano at the same Royal Academy of Music in Munich (today: Hochschule für Musik und Theater München).

In 1904 he married the painter Ida Görtz, with whom he has since used the maiden name of his mother, who died at an early age, as a double name Beer-Walbrunn.

Among his students were Télémaque Lambrino, Fritz Büchtger, Alfred Einstein, Carl Orff and Wilhelm Furtwängler as well as the musicologist and critic Eugen Schmitz.

The Anton Beer-Walbrunn - Kohlberg art and culture association[3] (established June 2015, president Martin Valeske) is holding the "Beer-Walbrunn-Days" in autumn, where his music is performed again.
