Prominent Chicago Musical Educator and Founder
of Big Music School Passed Away Sunday.
Dr. Florenz Ziegfeld, founder of the Chicago
Musical College and one of the most noted figures
in American musical circles, died this week at his
home, 1448 W. Adams street, Chicago, and was buried
with military honors.
Dr. Ziegfeld was colonel during the civil war and
one of the organizers of the Illinois National Guard,
from which he retired in 1921 with the rank of
brigadier general. A battalion from the old 2d regi-
ment, I. N. G., of which he was formerly colonel,
was in the funeral cortege.
He was born in Germany, June 10, 1841. As a
youth he studied under such masters as Moscheles.
Rcinccke, Plaidy, Papperitz, Wenzcl, Richter and
David. The Chicago Musical College, regarded as
the greatest institution of its sort in America, he
founded in the late 60's in the old Crosby Opera
House. Prior to that he, for a time, was partner
in a Chicago music house. Dr. Ziegfeld brought
many prominent musicians to this country and among
others he introduced Godowsky, Devries, Knupper
and many more to the musical life of this country.
Dr. Ziegfeld was a great influence also in the piano
world. Among his warm personal friends who acted
as pall bearers at his funeral on Tuesday of this week
were: Milward Adams, Herman Devries, John J.
Hattstaedt, George F. Dowling, Curtis Kimball,
Clarence Eddy, Louis Falk, Frederick A. Stock,
