Prince Heinrich XXIV Reuss of Köstritz, also Prince Heinrich XXIV Reuss, Younger Line (German:
113_1
Heinrich XXIV. Prinz Reuß zu Köstritz, also Heinrich XXIV. Prinz Reuß jüngere Linie, December 8,
113_2
1855 in Trebschen – October 2, 1910 in Ernstbrunn, Austria) was a German composer.
113_3
Life
113_4
Heinrich XXIV was born in Trebschen in the March of Brandenburg, descendant of the Reuss-Köstritz
113_5
line, the Younger Line, of the extended German noble family of Reuss. He was the son of Prince
113_6
(Fürst, monarch) Heinrich IV Reuss of Köstritz (26 April 1821 - 25 July 1894) and Princess Luise
113_7
Caroline Reuss of Greiz (3 December 1822 - 28 February 1875) and a brother of Eleonore Reuss of
113_8
Köstritz, Tsaritsa of Bulgaria. Heinrich XXIV spent his youth in Vienna, where he was influenced
113_9
greatly by the artistic atmosphere of his parents' home. He received his first music lessons in
113_10
piano, organ and counterpoint from his father Heinrich IV, himself a dilettante and composition
113_11
student of Carl Gottlieb Reissiger.
113_12
Heinrich XXIV received formal music instruction in Dresden, and continued his studies at the
113_13
Universities, first in Bonn, then in Leipzig where he was a pupil of Wilhelm Rust. Despite his
113_14
obvious musical talent, he decided to pursue a degree in law. After graduating in 1883, however, he
113_15
devoted himself almost exclusively to his musical interests. Starting in 1881 he studied
113_16
composition with Heinrich von Herzogenberg, to whom he developed a friendly attachment. Through
113_17
Herzogenberg he came to know Johannes Brahms, whom he much admired. Although he never received
113_18
formal instruction from Brahms, he did receive many helpful hints from Brahms, "teaching him more
113_19
in ten minutes than Herzogenberg managed to do in months."
113_20
On May 27, 1884, Heinrich XXIV was married to his cousin Princess Elisabeth Reuss of Köstritz
113_21
(1860–1931). The union produced five children. Heinrich XXIV Reuss of Köstritz died two months
113_22
before his 55th birthday in Ernstbrunn in Lower Austria, the ancestral seat from 1828.
113_23
Musical style
113_24
The musical style of Heinrich XXIV was strongly influenced by Brahms, however, on the whole it
113_25
differs from that being lighter in tone, and thus resembles more the style of his teacher, Heinrich
113_26
von Herzogenberg. A stylistic proximity to the works of Antonín Dvořák is evident. Heinrich XXIV's
113_27
compositions display a masterful command of musical form and technique, especially in contrapuntal
113_28
voice leading. As with Brahms, Dvořák and Herzogenberg, chamber music was his main field of
113_29
creativity; he contributed numerous works in various genres. Notable among his other creations are
113_30
his six symphonies.
113_31
During his lifetime, the compositions of Heinrich XXIV enjoyed a good reputation even in academic
113_32
circles. Max Reger was also one of his admirers. Even in the years after his death, his
113_33
compositions were warmly recommended by various musical authorities, as expressed, for example, by
113_34
the musicologist Wilhelm Altmann in the third volume of his Handbook for String Quartet Players
