Английская Википедия:Georg von Hofmann
Georg von Hofmann (29 October 1769 (According to other sources: 1771) – 7 May 1845) was an Austrian occasional poet.
Life and work
Born in Vienna, Hofmann was secretary at the Vienna Theater am Kärntnertor and, as successor to Georg Friedrich Treitschke, opera poet there.[1] He translated many foreign-language opera libretti into German. He wrote two poems for which Franz Schubert composed the music in 1820: Die Zauberharfe (D 644) and Die Zwillingsbrüder (D 647). Hofmann is also said to have provided the textual basis for the alleged rehearsal work with which, according to Anton Schindler, Schubert applied for a vice-conductorship at the Kärntnertortheater in 1826, which failed due to the conduct of the prima donna Nanette Schechner.[2] Otto Erich Deutsch, however, describes this incident as implausible.[3]
Hofmann died in Vienna at the age of 75.
