About This Item
Hugo Reinhold, born in Vienna in 1854, studied piano in the class of Julius Epstein and composition under the direction of Anton Bruckner. While he was still just a student, he obtained the prestigious Beethoven Award for his Suite Op. 7 for piano and string orchestra. For many years, until his death in 1935, he lectured as a professor at the Vienna State Academy of Music and Fine Arts (Staatsakademie für Musik und darstellende Kunst), educating numerous pianists. His compositions, largely forgotten today, constitute over a dozen cycles of piano pieces, single pieces for string orchestra, chamber music with the participation for the violin or the cello and a few collections of solo and choral songs. Aleksandra Milcarz graduated from the Academy of Music in Wroclaw having studied piano under Professor Grzegorz Kurzynski. Since 2008 she has worked as an accompanist at the Faculty of Music Education, Choral Art and Church Music at the Karol Lipinski Academy of Music in Wroclaw.
