August Lanner

Augustin Lanner, sometimes known as August Lanner, was an Austrian composer, the son of the better-known Joseph 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 Joseph Hellmesberger Sr. and also Professor Joseph Mayseder. Among his first efforts at musical composition is a waltz which did not survive obscurity.
