-
Born in Vaduz in 1839, Josef Gabriel Rheinberger came to the Munich Conservatory for training at the age of twelve, where his teachers were Franz Hauser, Johann Georg Herzog and Julius Joseph Maier (who in 1857 became the first director of the music department of the Munich Court Library). He also took private lessons with Franz Lachner. At the age of nineteen he himself taught piano, later organ and composition at the conservatory. As a teacher of composition and composer in Munich, Rheinberger had an international reputation. His students include Engelbert Humperdinck, Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, Wilhelm Furtwängler and many others. Rheinberger also held an important position in Catholic church music in Germany as court kapellmeister to King Ludwig II. His sacred choral works and organ compositions were enormously popular. Rheinberger was married to the poet Franziska von Hoffnaaß, who wrote texts for some of his vocal works and also compiled several handwritten lists of Rheinberger's works. The transfer of Josef Rheinberger's estate to the Court Library had been arranged early on by Rheinberger and his former teacher Julius Joseph Maier, who had arranged it in his will. The estate comprises many hundreds of autograph music manuscripts that comprehensively reflect Rheinberger's compositional oeuvre, as well as numerous autograph copies of works by other composers.
