Full biography Ludwig Thuille
Ludwig Thuille (1861-1907) was a German composer and teacher, born in Bozen, Austria. He began studying music at a young age, singing in the choir and studying organ, piano, and violin at the Benedictine choir school. His musical abilities were exceptional and he went on to enroll at the Munich Conservatory, where he studied composition and music theory under Joseph Rheinberger.
Thuille co-wrote a popular book on harmony and counterpoint with Rheinberger, which was used for decades as a standard textbook in German music schools. After graduation, he taught music theory at the Conservatory and was later appointed professor of composition there.
As a composer, Thuille wrote music in a variety of genres, including chamber music, symphonies, operas, and songs. Although his works were largely derivative in style, he was admired for his technical skill and craftsmanship. His music was popular in his lifetime, but is largely forgotten today.
Despite being overshadowed by his contemporary Richard Strauss, Thuille remains an interesting figure in the world of classical music due to his contributions to music theory and his notable compositions. Some of his more popular works include his Sextet for Piano and Winds, Piano Quintet, and Symphony in F Major.
