Julie Waldburg-Wurzach
Princess Julie Furstin von Waldburg-Wurzach (27 April 1841 – 7 December 1914)[1] was an Austrian composer who published over 60 works for voice and/or piano.[2] She was born in Vienna to Count Frans and Frantiska Dubsky von Trebomyslicz.[3] In 1858, she married Prince Eberhard Waldburg-Wurzach, becoming his second wife. They had two daughters, Marie and Elizabeth Sophie.[4]
One of Waldburg-Wurzach's teachers was pianist and composer Julie von Pfeilschifter,[5] who lived with the family at Schloss Kißlegg in Württemberg in 1872, then moved with them to Salzburg in 1874.[6] Franz Liszt reviewed Waldburg-Wurzach's compositions in at least one letter in 1874. He suggested a simpler notation for her "Mondlied"; edited the text of "Comme à Vingt Ans"; and noted that her song dedicated to Mme Ehnn, "Liebeshoffnung," "please[d] me particularly."[7]
In addition to composing, Waldburg-Wurzach provided significant help to several people. In 1875, she used her social contacts at Cotta Verlag (today Klett-Cotta Verlag) to help her half-sister Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach begin publishing some of her writing,[8] She visited Ferdinand von Zeppelin after he crashed his aircraft in Allgau, Germany, on 17 January 1906.[9] In 1908, she helped organize a fundraiser and signed an ad in a Wiesbaden newspaper to raise money for her teacher Julie von Pfeilschifter.[3]
Waldburg-Wurzach's music was published by Bosworth & Company and Carl Ruhle. Her compositions include:[10][11]
