Life

Arnold Krug was the son of the music teacher and composer Diederich Krug (1821-1880). His father was the first to teach him the piano . The composer, music theorist and organ master Cornelius Gurlitt , who lives in Altona , trained Krug further in the fields of composition and conducting. From 1868 to 1870 Krug was a student at the Leipzig Conservatory and was specially trained on the piano by Carl Reinecke .

In 1869 Arnold Krug had received a scholarship from the Mozart Foundation in Frankfurt. He then went to Berlin and received further piano lessons from Friedrich Kiel , a well-known composition and piano teacher, and from Eduard Franck , a piano teacher from the Stern Conservatory . From 1872 to 1879 Krug worked as a piano teacher at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin . In 1877 he went to Italy and France for a year . In Rome , Arnold Krug completed his composition studies at the Real Accademia di Santa Cecilia on March 30, 1878 with the appointment of "Maestro compositore" (Master of Composition). In 1879 Arnold Krug returned to Hamburg as a professor of music . From 1881 to 1888 he was first conductor and head of his own choral society, the Arnold Krugschen Singakademie . From October 1885 Arnold Krug worked as a composition teacher at the Bernuth Conservatory in Hamburg. In 1885, Krug took over the management of the Altona Singakademie for ten years as the successor to John Böie. In 1898 he directed the first performance of the oratorio Die Sündflut by his former teacher Cornelius Gurlitt in the main church in Hamburg.

Arnold Krug was married to Henriette Seester for the first time in 1881, but she died in 1885 at the age of 31. The first marriage was childless. In his second marriage, Krug married Franziska Meyerfeldt in 1894. The two children Werner (born August 18, 1895) and Lillie Krug (born December 19, 1896) come from this marriage. Arnold Krug died in Eppendorf hospital in 1904 .

Up to his death, Krug created an extensive compositional oeuvre, which unfortunately is only partially available in print. The Dillenburg musicologist Wolfgang Schult has made a contribution to the rediscovery and performance of Krug's vocal music. For example, he appears as the editor of two motets that are only available as autographs ( Crucifixus and Blessed are who are suffering there ). The former was premiered in 2002 by the University Choir Marburg under the direction of Schult.
