Princess of Saxe-Meiningen Maria Elisabeth (circa 1875)

Biography

German musician and composer, one of whose most famous works is Romanze in F major for clarinet and piano.

She was the only daughter of Georg II, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen by his first wife Princess Charlotte of Prussia, and had only one surviving brother, Hereditary Prince Bernhard.

As her father was a great patron of the stage and the founder of a national theatre, Maria Elisabeth was raised in this environment, consequently becoming artistic and a great lover of music like her parents. She received a thorough education under the tutelage of Theodor Kirchner, a talented pianist, and under composer and pianist Johannes Brahms, who worked as a music teacher in Meiningen.

At her residence in Berchtesgaden, Maria Elisabeth received a regular circle of artists and encouraged talented singers by financing their education.

Maria Elisabeth died on 22 February 1923 in Obersendling. She never married.
