Anna Ettlinger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anna Ettlinger was born on 16 November 1841 in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Her father, Veit Ettlinger was a respected lawyer.[2] Her family was active in the cultural life of the town.[1] Her parents' house was frequently visited by a number of musicians including Johannes Brahms and Hermann Levi.[3]
Anna, along her sisters, sang in local choirs conducted by Brahms and Levi at Karlsruhe.[1] She sang at the first performances of Schicksalslied, conducted by Brahms on 18 October 1871, and the Triumphlied, organized by Levi on 5 June 1872.[1] At Levi's suggestion, she also wrote Melusine, an opera libretto in verse in 1871.[2]
Her literary interest of becoming an author took the precedence over the marriage her family had planned for her.[4] She played an important role in encouraging Bertha Pappenheim to write.[5]
Her publications include Erinnerungen an Brahms und Levi and Lebenserinnerungen.[6]
She died in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany on 17 February 1934.[2]
