About Ferdinand Fränzl
- Ferdinand Fränzl (20 May 1767 in Schwetzingen – 27 October 1833 in Mannheim) was a German violinist, composer, conductor, opera director, and a representative of the third generation of the so-called Mannheim school. The quality of his violin playing must have been comparable to his father’s who in turn was one of the best violinists of his generation.
- The violinist and composer Louis Spohr, however, who heard him at least twice already in 1810 judged Fränzl’s playing as old-fashioned, reminiscent of a bygone era; he also criticised Fränzel’s impure tone.
