5Frantzen, Heinrich, German conductor and composer, born Cologne, Oct. 1, 1880. He was a military-band leader during the World War, and has composed fantasias, potpourris, and many popular marches.

13Franz, Karl, German horn player and performer on the baryton, born at Langenbielau, Silesia, in 1738; died at Munich in 1802. His selection of so unusual and difficult an instrument as the baryton was probably due to the fact that his patron, Prince Nicholas Esterházy, played it, and also that Haydn used it freely in his compositions. Haydn wrote a cantata for voice and baryton expressly for him.
15Franz, Leo, Czech composer and conductor, born Prague, Dec. 4, 1895; his works include stage music, chamber music, piano pieces and songs.

21Franz, Robert (originally Knauth), German composer and music editor, born Halle, June 28, 1815; died there, Oct. 24, 1892. He was the son of Cristoph Franz Knauth, changing his last name by royal permission in 1847. He studied at Dessau with Fr. Schneider, and became organist, conductor of the Singakademie, and music director at the University at Halle. He was one of the greatest composers of the German Lied; his works include more than three hundred and fifty songs in the same high category as those of Schubert and Schumann. Franz became almost totally deaf in 1864, and turned largely from composing to making elaborate but highly successful revisions of works of Bach and Handel. He also composed church music, including a Psalm, a Kyrie for chorus a cappella, a choral liturgy, and numerous part-songs.
23Franz, Stephan, Austrian violinist and composer, born at Vienna in 1785; died there about 1850. He was a pupil of Albrechtsberger and a friend of Haydn, from whom he received valuable advice in composition. He acted as musical director for important families, as a concert performer and as a member of the orchestra at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna. In addition to orchestral and chamber works, he wrote a rondo for harp and orchestra, and a septet for flute, oboe, bassoon, horn, violin, 'cello and bass.
25Fränzl, Ferdinand, German violinist and composer, born Schwetzingen, Palatinate, May 24, 1770; died Mannheim, Nov. 19, 1833; pupil of his father Ignaz Fränzl. He made long tours with his father, and took lessons from Pleyel, Richter and Padre Mattei. In 1806 he succeeded Cannabich as court director at Munich. At this period he was supposed to be one of the best of living violinists, but Spohr, who heard him at St. Petersburg, spoke rather slightingly of his methods. He was a prolific composer of violin music, having written nine concertos, four concertinos, a concerto, and three duos; also operas and orchestral works.
27Fränzl, Ignaz, German violinist and composer, born Mannheim, June 3, 1734; died there in 1803. He was musical director at the Court Theatre, Mannheim, and was accounted one of the greatest performers of his time. His works include violin concertos and chamber music.

Hearing him again nine years later, he was surprised to find that not only was the purity of his tone undiminished, but that he had learned to sing better than before. His tours took him to Bologna, Venice, Turin, Padua, London and Vienna.
35Frase (It.), phrase.
37Fraser, Angus MacMillan, Scotch-Canadian bagpipe player, teacher and manufacturer, born Canada, June 17, 1873; died New York, Mar. 6, 1938. He had his own Angus Fraser's Lovatt Pipe Band, won several competitions in Scotland, and manufactured his own instruments.
