Augustin Lanner (23 January 1835,
Vienna – 27 September 1855, Vienna), sometimes known as August Lanner, was an
Austrian composer, the son of the better-known
Josef Lanner. He was first educated at the St. Anna-Schule but received no music instruction at that time. His earliest music education was first provided by the k.k Kapellmeister Josef Strebinger in
harmony and later took instructions in
composition with the Viennese composer Josef Hellmesberger and also Professor
Josef Mayseder. Among his first efforts at musical composition is a
waltz which did not survive obscurity.
