Maria Anna Stubenberg
Maria Anna von Stubenberg, also known as Maria Anna von Buttlar-Stubenberg, was an Austrian-born composer who lived from August 9, 1821, to December 1, 1912. She wrote music that used Hungarian and Romani folk tunes.
She was born in Graz into a noble family. Her parents were Gustav Adolf Josef Christian Felix Herr und Graf von Stubenberg and Maria Franciszka Freiin von Staudach. She married three times: first to Johann Remekhazy von Gurahoncz in 1840, then to Friedrich Graf von Zichy de Zich und Vásonykeö in 1848, and later to Treusch von Buttlar-Brandenfels.
As a child she lived in the Hungarian areas of the Austrian Empire. Her compositions include works for voice, piano, and zither, drawing on folk tunes. Her music reaches at least opus 90 and uses texts from folk songs and poets such as Eugen Graf Aichelburg, Rudolph Baumbach, William Bosworth, Friedrich Ferdinand, Graf von Beust, Emanuel von Geibel, Heinrich Heine, and Nikolaus Lenau. Her works were published by Josef Eberle and Wiener Musik Verlagshaus (later F. Roerich & Co.). Selected works include pieces for voice, piano, and zither.
