Talk:Franz Schreker

message: I find amazing that the Franz Schreker Foundation says here and here that Schreker studied the violin with Ernst Bachrich from 1892 to 1894, when Ernst Bachrich was a pianist and was only born in 1892. I have found two references that say that Schreker studied with Sigismund Bachrich, who was a violinist and professor at the Vienna Conservatory.--Atavi (talk) 19:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

message: When and why did he change the spelling of his name?  We allude to the fact that it was changed, but give no further information.  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 11:56, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The allusion was added by User:Uponeeds on 13/8/09.  The name-change seems to be validated by this essay on the Schreker site.  However, there's no mention of it in Grove Opera, Viking, Oxford Dictionary of Opera or Everyman's Dictionary of Music.  The essay has a vague "when" but not "why".  Maybe people kept misspelling it?  I suggest that a ref to the essay site would be helpful for now, unless anyone has any better info.  --GuillaumeTell 17:36, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Further, we say his father's name was Schrekker (2 k's), but Franz was given the surname Schrecker (which later became Schreker). Why would his surname at birth differ from that of his parents, even if only in a minor detail? --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 21:22, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Jewish Life from Napoleon to Hitler

message: Hello Wikipedians, 
I wanted to let you know that I will be adding a few sentences (about 7) to the Wikipedia article about Franz Schreker. Recently, I read about Schreker in a secondary source called Forbidden Music: The Jewish Composers Banned by the Nazis by Michael Haas. Haas is a credible secondary source because it was written by a scholar at the University of London and published by Yale University Press. Chapter 5, entitled “The Jugendstil School of Schoenberg, Schreker, Zemlinsky, and Weigl," states that Schreker was a big part of the Jugendstil movement. He also wrote his opera libretti, which would significantly add to his "formative years" or "success in opera" topics. Also, Schreker was a close friend of Arnold Schoenberg. His music also inspired him along with Wagner and Strauss. During World War II, the Nazis banned Schreker's music and many other Jewish composers. His death in 1934 and the ban on his music made it difficult for his music to travel outside of Europe. If anyone would like to weigh in on these details, please let me know on this talk page or my own.
