Felix Weingartner
The conductor Felix Weingartner found it "incomprehensible that his delightful opera comique, "Der Widerspänstigen Zähmung", should have entirely disappeared from the repertoire." Another great admirer of Goetz's compositions was George Bernard Shaw, who praised Goetz's Symphony in F above anything in the genre by Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms.
