Composer

• Julius Reubke (1834 - 1858)

Notes & Reviews:

Reubke will always be one of the great "what-ifs" in music. His brief life brought him considerable fame and recognition, not only as a disciple of Franz Liszt, but also as an important proponent of what was called the New German School of composition. Although his earliest works ('Mazurka' and 'Scherzo') show a marked influence of Chopin, Reubke's musical language is thoroughly rooted in the German tradition of Weber, Schumann and Mendelssohn. Undoubtedly, Reubke's greatest hit is the 'Sonata for Organ on the 94th Psalm.' One can only wonder how far this composer could have gone had he not succumbed to tuberculosis in 1858, yet he continued to perform on both organ and piano as his health continued to fail.
