Rheinberger, Josef Gabriel - Musical Biographies |
 | | In 1865, the Munich Conservatory was reorganized, and Rheinberger was transferred to the position of director of rehearsals, at the Court Opera, which he resigned in 1867, accepting a recall to his former position at the Conservatory, now under the direction of von Bülow, and known as the Royal Music School. |
 | | Rheinberger became world-famous as a teacher, and is said to have influenced the modern American School more than any other one European musician, through Chadwick, his most celebrated American pupil. |
 | | Rheinberger was especially fortunate in the sympathetic companionship and coöperation of his wife, formerly Franziska von Hoffnass, a poetess, who wrote the text for many of his best known choral works, including the larger ones with solos and orchestra: Toggenburg; Montfort; Christoforus, an oratorio; and the Star of Bethlhem. |
