Hans Pfitzner



Hans (Erich) Pfitzner (May 5, 1869 - May 22, 1949) was a German composer and self-described anti-modernist. His best known work is probably the opera Palestrina, loosely based (he wrote his own libretto) on the life of the great sixteenth-century composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
