Franz Litschauer (1903-1972) was an Austrian conductor and violist, active in orchestral, chamber and radio music. He became associated with Vienna’s post-war musical life.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Bloch’s Israel Symphony and Schelomo, with Vienna State Opera and Hague forces.

Litschauer’s presence belongs to a specialised mid-century recording context, where conductors often worked across broadcast, opera and concert repertory with practical flexibility.

His page is justified by secure identity and catalogue context. Litschauer gives the Bloch shelf a Viennese conductor’s outline.
