Hallo Dietmar Friesenegger,
Nice to hear from you and, fascinating news about Ludwig Rottenberg and
Julie Salter. I do not have Julie Salter in my database - do you have her
birth and death dates and any additional information? Rottenberg for a
while conducted in Vienna, then worked as conductor at the opera in
Frankfurt. He apparently studied law and history in Czernowitz. Do you
know anything about his musical education?
