Friedrich Klose
Friedrich Klose (born 29 November 1862 in
Karlsruhe,
Margraviate of Baden-Durlach; died 24 December 1942 in
Ruvigliana, Switzerland) was a German composer. He studied with
Vinzenz Lachner in Karlsruhe, and then with
Anton Bruckner in Vienna, and recorded his impressions of his time with Bruckner in a book. His Mass in d-minor was written in response to
Franz Liszt's death. His opera ''
Ilsebill'' (1903) is inspired by the music of
Richard Wagner and
Richard Strauss, and the plot is based on the
Brothers Grimm tale of a fisherman who catches a huge fish which grants ever increasingly more greedy wishes and this is reflected in the increasing complexity of orchestration during the opera. It was premiered in 1903 in Karlsruhe under the direction of
Felix Mottl. He ended his career as a composer and a teacher in 1919 and retired to Switzerland.
