Fritz Spindler (24 November 1817 – 26 December 1905) was a German pianist and composer, especially of works for the piano.
Biographical sketch
editBorn in Wurzbach, Spindler's output of more than 400 opus numbers[1] includes salon pieces, chamber music, symphonies and other large forms, and over 300 piano pieces.[2] But he is best remembered, if at all today, for a much-anthologized sonatina. He published almost 350 compositions.[3]
He died in Niederlößnitz/Radebeul, near Dresden.
