August Brunetti Pisano

The composer August Brunetti-Pisano (St. Gilgen 1870-1943 Salzburg) worked in Salzburg for more than half a century and was already a colourful personality during his lifetime. Initially as a gymnastics and drawing teacher at various schools and school types. He saw himself as a pedagogue whose role in his relationship with the pupils entrusted to him went far beyond that of a state education administrator confronted with the classroom - in the literal sense of the word. Both here and as a private music teacher for the daughters and sons of Salzburg's middle-class families, including the Trakl and Breitner families in Mattsee and Wertheimer in Ranshofen, he left a lasting mark on his pupils.
