|
personnel and families, Canal Zone employees and residents, and Panamanian citizens. His mission
|
112_19
|
was to seek ways for the university to continue operations after the reversion of the Canal Zone to
|
112_20
|
the Republic of Panama in late 1999. The politically sensitive goal was achieved with support from

112_24

with FSU.

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
