Röntgen, Julius (Composer)
Description:
German-born Julius Röntgen (1855-1932) composed at an early age, long before his arrival in the Netherlands in 1878. There he would continue to work as a composer, pianist, conductor and pedagogue until his death, thus becoming a “Dutch" composer.
In 1864, at the urging of his father Engelbert Röntgen, concertmaster of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig, he notated his first piece of music. Gradually several youthful works came into being, such as several organ pieces and in 1869 the three-movement Duett for violin and viola. It caused a stir when it was played at the Rheinisch Musikfest, which took place that year. None other than legendary violinist Joseph Joachim (for whom Brahms wrote his violin concerto) played the Duett with father Engelbert Röntgen. This was reported in the Times by a Scottish musician, Sir Herbert Oakeley, who attended and described the amazement caused by the young Julius Röntgen's talent. According to Oakeley, Joachim had found it plausible that Julius could become one of the "great masters”.
This work, which comes from the archive of Julius Röntgen located at the Netherlands Music Institute/Haags Gemeentearchief, remained unpublished until now. On the initiative of Gerard Wiarda, conductor of several amateur orchestras who also plays the violin and viola himself, this piece is now being published in print for the first time. Wiarda also took care of the correction of the music printing.
