Heinrich Jalowetz (December 3, 1882 – February 2, 1946)[1] was an Austrian musicologist and conductor, who settled in the United States.
He completed his doctorate degree in 1908, with a dissertation on Ludwig van Beethoven's early techniques in melody.
[6] From 1909 to 1933, he worked as a conductor in Regensburg, Danzig, Stettin, Prague, Vienna and Cologne (as successor to Otto Klemperer).
He is one of the seven "dead friends" (the others being Alban Berg, Anton Webern, Alexander Zemlinsky, Franz Schreker, Karl Kraus and Adolf Loos) to whom he once envisaged dedicating his book Style and Idea, with the comment that those men ‘belong to those with whom principles of music, art, artistic morality and civic morality need not be discussed.
Jalowetz died on February 2, 1946, in Black Mountain, North Carolina, United States.
