Ottilie Heinke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ottilie Fanny Friederike Heinke (* around August 1823 in Breslau ; † November 2, 1888 in Berlin ) was a German composer and piano teacher.

Life

Ottilie Heinke was the fourth of seven children of the Prussian civil servant Ferdinand Heinke . Her sister Klara Friederike was a painter in Berlin and a founding member of the Association of Berlin Women Artists . After the death of their father in 1857, the two sisters moved from Breslau to Berlin.

Ottilie Heinke began private composition studies with Richard Wüerst in 1865 and was also trained temporarily by the composer Friedrich Kiel , to whom she dedicated “Three Piano Pieces for Four Hands, op. 15. Berlin: Bote & Bock, 1879”. In the State Institute for Music Research Berlin from 1869 an album leaf is obtained that her about Franz Ries is dedicated. During the same period he was a student of Friedrich Kiel and thus a fellow student of Ottilie Heinke. Almost at the same time in 1869, Ottilie Heinke composed her first works. These were published by various Berlin publishers and were noticed by the public and reviewed in specialist journals. Alfred Michaelis describes Ottilie Heinke's compositions in 1888 in his biographical encyclopedia women as creative sound artists as follows: “The composer knows how to write atmospheric and how to create lifelike, true-to-life character pictures.” Heinke also dedicated compositions for children to music education.
