  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.

 Classical Net - Composers - Rheinberger
Rheinberger was something of a prodigy and began playing organ and composing at the age of 7.
Rheinberger was one of the few prominent musical figures of his time to successfully avoid the Wagner/Brahms debate, and in the process maintain close and fruitful contacts with composers in both camps.
Rheinberger's most popular works – the organ music – are really quite different from the works of contemporaries such as from Charles-Marie Widor, Louis Vierne, César Franck and Alexander Guilmant, but in some ways similar to Max Reger's very early work.
