Johann Herbeck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Franz von Herbeck (December 25, 1837-October 28, 1877) was an Austrian conductor best known for leading the premiere of Franz Schubert's Unfinished Symphony.
Herbeck was a native of Vienna, and was largely self-taught in music. He became a professor at the city's conservatory in 1859. From 1875 he led the concerts of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde; from 1866 to 1871 he was court conductor, and from 1871 until 1875 was principal conductor of the Court Opera. He was fairly influential in local musical life for much of his career.
Herbeck died in Vienna in 1877.
