Karl L. Hoschna (* August 16, 1877 in Kuschwarda, Bohemian Forest; † December 23, 1911 in New York) was an Austrian-American musician and composer.
Karl Hoschna studied at the Conservatory of the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna. After successfully completing these studies, he played as an oboist in various bands and later became a military musician in the Imperial and Royal Army. Army.
Hoschna emigrated to America and joined the bandmaster Victor Herbert in New York. In addition to his work (as a musician) with Herbert, he produced several operettas over time, almost every one of which became an immediate success. In transcriptions and adaptations, his works found their way onto stages all over the world, and the songs soon found themselves as evergreens (e.g. Komm in meine Liebeslaube).
Through Herbert, Hoschna made the acquaintance of Isidor Witmark, for whom he arranged musical pieces for some time. In 1902, he became friends with Otto Harbach, with whom he wrote the operetta ''The Daughter of the Desert'' in 1902; this piece was neither published nor ever performed in public. In 1908, he wrote songs with Harbach for the revue ''Three Twin Girls'', including the hit tune ''Cuddle Up a Little Closer'', Lovely Mine''.
Further collaboration brought better results, and from 1912 Hoschna worked equally creatively with Benjamin Hapggod Burt. Hoschna did not live to see the premiere of his last work, ''The Wall Street Girl''.
He died in New York in 1911 and found his final resting place there.
