Georg Gräner

Georg Gräner (20 November 1876 – 30 April 1945) was a German composer and music critic.

As a composer, Gräner stood in the tradition of Anton Bruckner.

He also became known with a biography about his cousin Paul Graener, published in 1922, which he had written without his knowledge.

Paul Graener was dissatisfied with this;[2] nevertheless the two worked together in the following period: Georg Gräner wrote the libretto to Paul Graener's opera Hanneles Himmelfahrt (1927), after the eponymous play by Gerhart Hauptmann.

Like his cousin, Gräner also turned to Nazism and wrote propagandistic articles such as Deutsche und undeutsche Musik.
