Heinz Friedrich Hartig
Heinz Friedrich Hartig was a German composer and harpsichordist.
In 1948 he began teaching at the Berliner Hochschule für Musik. Seven years later, he took up a professorship there. He became acquainted with Boris Blacher, a composer with whom he collaborated extensively.
As harpsichordist, Hartig made numerous recordings, mostly in the role of continuo player rather than soloist. His compositional output consists mainly of concertos, sonatas, songs, oratorios and choral works. He also gained a distinguished reputation as a pedagogue.
