Poenitz: Works for Harp

Franz Poenitz (1850-1912) was born Franz von Burkovitz, had a difficult childhood, fleeing from his father with his sister when he was very young. His mother had died in childbirth, and her sister took the children in. her husband the conductor Heinrich Poenitz quickly recognised Franz’s talent, and his father taught him violin, and he went on to become one of the most important composers for the harp. In 1876 he became one of the ‘Bayreuth Seven’, the group of harpists at the new Festspielhaus built to perform the works of Wagner in. He was a man of wide interests, skiing, hunting, angling and painting. He died in Berlin of complications following an appendectomy.
