Hans von Bülow is a key figure in 19th century music whose career path
was as broad as it was successful. Music history's first virtuoso
orchestral conductor, Bülow created the model for the profession-both in
musical brilliance and in domineering personality-which still holds
forth today. He was an eminent and renowned concert pianist, a respected
(and often feared) teacher and music critic, an influential editor of
works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Chopin, and Beethoven, and a composer in a
variety of musical genres. As a student and son-in-law of Franz Liszt,
and estranged friend of Richard Wagner (for whom his wife Cosima
famously left him), Bülow is intricately connected with the canonical
greats of the period. Yet despite his critical and lasting importance
for orchestral music, Bülow's life and significant achievements have yet
to be heralded in biographical form.
