Carl Reinecke (1824 - 1910) was born in what is today the Hamburg district of Altona; technically he was born a Dane, as until 1864 the town was under Danish rule.
In 1860, Reinecke was appointed director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and professor of composition and piano at the Leipzig Conservatory. He led the orchestra for more than three decades, until 1895.
Reinecke is best known for his flute sonata "Undine", but he is also remembered as one of the most influential and versatile musicians of his time. He served as a teacher for 35 years, until his retirement in 1902.
He published three hundred works. He wrote several operas (none of which are performed today). During this time, he frequently made concert tours to England and elsewhere. His piano playing belonged to a school in which grace and neatness were characteristic, and at one time he was probably unrivaled as a Mozart player and an accompanist.
In 1904 at the age of 80, he made recordings of seven works playing on piano roll for the Welte-Mignon company, making him the earliest-born pianist to have his playing preserved in any format.

Heinrich von Herzogenberg (10 June 1843 – 9 October 1900) was an Austrian composer born in Graz.
He was educated at a Jesuit school, and studied law, philosophy and political science at the University of Vienna.
He soon turned his energies to music.
Early on he was attracted to the music of Richard Wagner, but after studying J. S. Bach's works he became an adherent of the classical tradition and an advocate for the music of Brahms.
In 1866 he married Elisabeth von Stockhausen, who had been a piano pupil of Brahms; Brahms's letters to and from both Herzogenbergs form one of the most delightful sections of his correspondence.
