13Hanslick, Eduard, Bohemian writer and music critic, born Prague, Sept. 11, 1825; died Baden, near Vienna, Aug. 6, 1904. He was a law student at Prague and Vienna, but having always been interested in music, he studied under Tomaschek at Prague, and became music critic for the "Wiener-Zeitung" at Vienna, and devoted himself to writing. He then became musical editor of the "Presse," and of the "Neue freie Presse," lectured and became a professor at the Vienna University. Both the sound musicianship and the finished prose style of his writing make his works of permanent value. In his first important book, Van Musikalisch-Schönen, he enunciates his musical code. Hanslick was a violent opponent of Wagner, and an enthusiastic champion of Brahms; his works include many valuable treatises.
15Hansmann, O. F. G., German violoncellist and composer, born Potsdam, May 30, 1768; died Berlin, May 4, 1836. He was 'cellist in the Royal Orchestra and composed 'cello sonatas and duets.

19Hansmann, Walter, German violinist, conductor and music teacher, born Köslin, Dec. 4, 1875. He studied with Hans Becker, played in the Leipzig Gewandhaus Concerts, directed the Thuringian State Conservatory at Erfurt and conducted the Bach Society there.
21Hanson, Howard Harold, American composer, conductor and teacher, born Wahoo, Neb., Oct. 28, 1896. He graduated from Luther College, Wahoo, Neb., and studied at the Institute of Musical Art, New York, with James Friskin in piano and Percy Goetschius in composition. He then took an academic degree from Northwestern University at Evanston, Ill., and became a teacher of theory and composition at the College of the Pacific, San José, Calif. Within three years he became dean of the Conservatory of Fine Arts there, a position which he held until 1921. In that year he won a fellowship to the American Academy in Rome. He remained in Rome three years, and upon his return to the United States in 1924, was appointed director of the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester. His early compositions definitely show the influence of his Swedish ancestry, and reach their climax in his Nordic Symphony. He has been called a "conservative-modern," a term which aptly describes such orchestral works as Pan and the Priest, the Romantic Symphony and the Lament of Beowulf. His most important work is his opera, Merry Mount, written to a libretto by Richard L. Stokes. It was produced at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, in 1934, and proved to be a work of considerable talent. His third symphony, which was written for the Columbia Broadcasting System, was given its première performance in 1937. He is also a fine conductor, has been guest conductor with various orchestras, and has led the American Orchestral Concerts at Rochester. In addition to the works mentioned above, Hanson has written a Heroic Elegy, a piano quintet, a chamber concerto, a string quartet and some pieces for piano.
23Hanson, William F., American composer, pianist and authority on Indian music, born Vernal, Utah, Oct. 23, 1887; pupil of Xaver Scharwenka, Felix Borowski and Carl Busch. His research in the music of the Sioux and Ute Indians has been the basis of his two operas The Sun Dance and Täm-Mäm'-Näçüp'.
