Oskar Rieding
Oskar Rieding (29 June 1846 in Banie, Pomerania, now Poland–7 July 1916 in Celje, Austria-Hungary, now Slovenia)[1] was a German violinist, teacher of music, and composer.
Oskar Rieding attended first the recently founded Academy of Musical Arts in Berlin, and later the Leipzig Conservatory. At the end of the 1860s he moved to Vienna, but in 1871 the conductor Hans Richter, at that time Musical Director of the National Theatre in Budapest, appointed Rieding to the orchestra's first violin section. He remained there for thirty-two years, from 1884 onwards in the National Opera House. He composed some violin concertos and many pieces for violin and piano. Many of these pieces are appropriate for intermediate-level violin students, and they are still studied and performed by violin students today. After his retirement in 1903, he lived in Celje, continuing his activities as teacher, composer, and performer, until his death in 1916.[1]
