Who has more best-known compositions, Hans Pfitzner or Ludwig van Beethoven?
Hans Pfitzner Hans Erich Pfitzner (5 May 1869 – 22 May 1949) was a German composer and self-described anti-modernist. His best known work is the post-Romantic opera "Palestrina", loosely based on the life of the sixteenth-century composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
Joseph Panny Joseph Panny (23 October 1796 – 7 September 1838) was an Austrian composer and violinist who lived primarily in Vienna. A contemporary of Ludwig van Beethoven, very few of his works remain in the active repertoire today.
