| German pianist, conductor and teacher (b. 25 September 1830 {{NS}} in [[Hannover]]; d. 27 July 1916 {{NS}} in Stolpe, near Oranienburg), born '''''Karl Ludwig Klindworth'''''.
| |
| | |
| ==Biography== | |
| During his youth, Klindworth was trained to play the violin, but later taught himself the piano. At the age of 17 he became conductor of a travelling theatre company, and from 1852 to 1854 he studied under [[Franz Liszt]] at Weimar.
| |
| | |
| After moving to [[London]] in 1854, he spent fourteen years as a conductor, where audiences generally found his programmes of traditional works juxtaposed with modern music too challenging for popular tastes. However, he was highly rated by fellow musicians, including [[Richard Wagner]] and [[Edward Dannreuther]].
| |
| | |
| ==Tchaikovsky and Klindworth== | |
| In 1868, Klindworth was invited by [[Nikolay Rubinstein]] to join the staff of the [[Moscow]] Conservatory, where he befriended Tchaikovsky, and made several piano arrangements of Tchaikovsky's works. Together with [[Hans von Bülow]], Klindworth endorsed Tchaikovsky's overture-fantasia ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' to the [[Berlin]] publishers [[Bote & Bock]] when the score was sent to them by [[Nikolay Rubinstein]] in May 1870. [[Bote & Bock]] eventually published the full score of the overture (revised version) in 1871, thereby laying the foundation-stone of Tchaikovsky's growing fame in Germany.
| |
| | |
| After [[Nikolay Rubinstein]]'s death, Klindworth returned to Germany where he became co-conductor of the [[Berlin]] Philharmonic Orchestra in 1882, and founded his own piano conservatory in the German capital two years later.
