In 1871, at the age of 18, he was sent to the Berlin University of the Arts, where he studied violin under Heinrich De Ahna, famed violinist Joseph Joachim (recent reorganizer of the school), and Heitel (for theory).

  • Gustav Dannreuther was a violinist and conductor from Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1871, at the age of 18, he was sent to the Berlin University of the Arts, where he studied violin under Heinrich De Ahna, famed violinist Joseph Joachim (recent reorganizer of the school), and Heitel (for theory). He left the school in 1874, spent six months in Paris, and then publicly taught and played in London until 1877. Later, until 1880, he was a member of the Mendelssohn Quintet Club of Boston, traveling through the United States, and Canada, including Newfoundland. Dannreuther and his ensemble's high musical standards contributed to the establishment of widespread Chamber music playing in the United States. Dannreuther became a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1880, and played in its first concert in Boston's Symphony Hall on October 22, 1881. He then returned to his preferred chamber music ensemble, and conducted the Buffalo Philharmonic Society from 1882 to 1884, marrying local resident Nellie M. Taylor in 1882. In 1884, he formed the Dannreuther String Quartet (formerly the Beethoven String Quartet), a predecessor to the Kneisel Quartet. For a time, the Dannreuther quartet was the longest-lived string quartet in the United States, lasting for thirty years. For three years prior to 1899, Dannreuther lead the New York Symphony Society and Oratorio Society under Walter Damrosch, and became an instructor of music at Vassar College in 1907. Though an accomplished music instructor, Dannreuther may best be remembered by connoisseurs of music, particularly those of Boston and New York City, for his numerous string quartet concerts (three per season in New York City, accompanied by distinguished artists) and an associated aroused interest in, and appreciation of, string quartet music. He introduced new harmonic factors of color and atmosphere in string quartet literature, which set the standard for Franz Kneisel.
  • Густав Даннройтер — американский скрипач немецкого происхождения. Брат Эдварда Даннройтера. В 1871—1874 гг. учился в Берлинской Высшей школе музыки у Йозефа Иоахима и Генриха де Аны. Некоторое время выступал и преподавал в Париже и Лондоне, в 1877 г. вернулся в США, играл в бостонском Квинтете имени Мендельсона. В 1881 г. поступил в Бостонский симфонический оркестр в момент его основания и 22 октября играл в его составе на первом концерте оркестра, однако в скором времени отказался от работы в оркестре, вернувшись к излюбленному ансамблевому музицированию. В 1884 г. он создал струнный квартет Даннройтера, существовавший в том или ином виде (позднее — под названием Квартет имени Бетховена) около 30 лет и занимавший на рубеже веков важное место в музыкальной жизни США; Даннройтер с товарищами, в частности, впервые исполнили в 1897 г. 15-й струнный квартет Антонина Дворжака.
