Miscellaneous information
- Mentioned as violist in "The American history and encyclopedia of music" (numerous co-authors), 1908, page 382, article on Jaques Hoffmann. (Indeed, he was apparently the violist of the Hoffmann Quartet as of 1902 when the quartet was founded, apparently.) Er, ohoh. Are we talking about the Boston Symphony Karl Rissland (born in Germany, Konigssee spec., then to US) or his nephew (Karl Ernest Rissland, 1894–1971, born, died in USA) who also worked with Stokowski (in the San Francisco Symphony) - ouch! - info and bio of the latter here. Since Karl Rissland's arrangements (both here and his others) were chiefly made stringed instruments and his nephew was a wind player (trumpet mainly) this mean it is likely those of the elder Rissland we have here.
- Have added his birth date from his passport application, also confirmed in the Find a Grave website, stating also that he was born at Königsee, Thuringia, Germany. His Valse Caprice Op. 16 was recorded by Mischa Elman in 1917 who also included Rissland as his violist in recordings of the Elman String Quartet in 1917 and 1918. In Allan Kozinn's biography of Elman it mentions that 'In 1916, he made an experimental foray into public chamber playing, assembling the first incarnation of the quartet with three members of the Boston Symphony—the violinist Adolf Bak, the violist Karl Rissland and the cellist Rudolf Nagel.' His death also taken from Find a Grave.
