Winding & Hartmann ©
August Winding was the son of a musical clergyman whose great interest was in collecting folk-songs. He was his son’s first music teacher.
Later August became the pupil of the pianist Anton Rée (1820-86), who had studied in Hamburg, Vienna and Paris, where he became acquainted with Chopin and Kalkbrenner. The composer Carl Reinecke ( 1824- 1910), who was Court pianist in Copenhagen in 1846-48, also taught Winding, who in addition received tuition in theory and the organ from Niels W. Gade, with whom he was very close.
Emil Hartmann was a piano pupil of Anton Rée, but he also studied with Niels Ravnkilde ( 1823-90). His father, the composer J.P.E. Hartmann, taught him theory and the organ. He made his debut as a composer in 1858 with a sacred composition and the following year had the music which he and Winding had composcd for the ballet The Mountain Girl performed. After studying in Germany he wrote music for Hostrup’s A Night between the Mountains and later composed the operas The Elfin Girl and The Corsican and, not least, Ragnhild, performed in Germany under the title Runenzauber.
