Wilhelm Klatte (13 February 1870 – 25 July 1930) was a German music theoretician, pedagogue, journalist and conductor.
Life
Born in Bremen, after studying music in Leipzig, Klatte began his professional career as a musician first at the Deutsches Nationaltheater und Staatskapelle Weimar with Richard Strauss. During this time he was also active as a conductor on various occasions. In 1897 he became the first music consultant at the Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger. From 1904 Klatte also taught music theory at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin, where he was appointed professor in 1919. His students there included Else Schmitz-Gohr. Since 1925 he had also held a teaching position for theory at the Royal Music Institute of Berlin.
Klatte also held several honorary posts. He was a member of the board of directors of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Musikverein (from 1909) and representative of the musical arts in the Vorläufiger Reichswirtschaftsrat (from 1925).
Klatte died in Berlin at the age of 60.[1]
