Cilli and Rieding

The Slovenian city Cilli, which is now called Celje, was part of Hungary at the time Rieding died there. Now it is Slovenia.

The person that sent me the biography of Rieding states that he lived and worked in Wien and Budapest, but that he also lived in Belgium (for some time, I presume). I don't know what the source of his information is. There seems to be little information available about Oskar Rieding.

Cilli isn't in Hungary but in Slovenia..
and did he live in Belgium, or in Wien and Budapest?

Music

Oskar Rieding was a violinist and a teacher, and composed several concertos for violin beginners. One of those, the B minor Op. 35 is very popular.

Life

The violinist Oskar Rieding’s greatest claim to fame lies in his contribution to Hungarian music, in particular, the musical life of Budapest. Born in 1840 in the north of Germany, he attended first the recently founded Academy of Musical Arts in Berlin, later the Leipzig Conservatory. Towards the end of the 1860s, he moved to Vienna, where in 1871, the celebrated conductor, Hans Richter, at that time Musical Director of the National Opera House in Budapest, appointed Rieding as Leader of the orchestra there. He remained for thirty-two years and composed a number of violin concertos and many salon pieces for violin and piano. Following his retirement in 1904, he lived in Cilli until his death in 1918.

(Contribution by Eberhard Sengpiel <esengpiel(at)t-online.de>)

Rieding lived in Belgium at the end of the 19th century. [Unconfirmed, does someone know more about this? Sources?]
