Julius Reubke
Julius Reubke (born March 23, 1834 in Hausneindorf near Quedlinburg; † June 3, 1858 in Pillnitz near Dresden) was a German pianist , organist and composer .
Life
He was a son of the organ builder Adolf Reubke . In 1856 Reubke came to Weimar and became a pupil of Franz Liszt . In addition to a few smaller works, he wrote two large-scale sonatas : the piano sonata in B flat minor and the organ sonata “The 94th Psalm” in C minor. The organ sonata can be seen as a large-scale symphonic poem . She is kept in a gloomy and restless mood. The sonata, which has quite a few technical difficulties, is part of the standard repertoire of concert organists.
Reubke's harmonic language is sometimes very bold with its modulations and lead, for example the dissonances in the final movement of the piano sonata.
Reubke died in Pillnitz in 1858 and was buried in the Hosterwitz cemetery . His grave has not been preserved. On July 31, 2015, the Society of Organ Friends installed a memorial plaque (Ole Göttsche) on the outer wall of the church “ Maria am Wasser ” in Hosterwitz .
