Otto Kitzler
Otto Kitzler (18 March 1834 – 6 September 1915) was a German cellist and conductor. He is noted for being the form and orchestration teacher of the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner from 1861 to 1863.[1]
Kitzler led the Linz theatre orchestra and was responsible for introducing Bruckner to the music of Richard Wagner as well as other 19th-century composers.[1] The sketches and compositions that Bruckner prepared for Kitzler are found in the Kitzler-Studienbuch, which "due to its inaccessibility...has achieved little notoriety in the musical world".[2]
Kitzler wrote a funeral music "In Memorial of Anton Bruckner" (Trauermusik "Dem Andenken Anton Bruckners"), re-orchestrated by Gerd Schaller (2012) and recorded with the Philharmonie Festiva for Profil Edition Günter Hänssler.[3]
