Grunsky, Karl

Grunsky, Karl (Carl) (1871-1943). Writer on music and leading music critic, strong supporter of Wagner and Bruckner. Grunsky published his influential Musikästhetik in 1907, which went through many editions; and a number of articles on the music dramas of Wagner in 1906-1908, e.g. "Die Rhythmik im Parsifal", Richard Wagner-Jahrbuch (1908), 276-370. See also his contributions to Bruckner's Symphonien erläutert mit Notenbeispielen (Berlin: Schlesinger, n.d.). Federhofer speaks of "a dispute between Schenker and Grunsky" in 1908, regarding Halm and Bruckner ( Nach Tagebüchern, p.134).
