August Wilhelm Julius Rietz

August Wilhelm Julius Rietz (28 December 1812, Berlin – 12 September 1877 [1], Dresden) was a German composer, conductor and cellist. He was a teacher among whose students were Woldemar Bargiel [2] , Salomon Jadassohn and Arthur Sullivan [3].

He also edited many works by Felix Mendelssohn for publication.

The Louisville Orchestra First Edition series contained, besides many works mostly by modern composers (usually American), Rietz' Concert Overture, opus 7 (coupled with the second symphony of Max Bruch), and recorded around 1970 [4]. This may have been the same concert overture commissioned by the Lower Rhenish Music Festival to commemorate an anniversary [5].
