Felix Mottl
Felix Josef von Mottl (1856–1911) was an Austrian conductor and composer.
Mottl was born in Vienna. He was regarded as one of the most brilliant conductors of his day. He composed some operas, and his orchestration of Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder is still the most commonly performed version.
Felix Mottl assisted Hans Richter in the preparations for the first complete Ring Cycle at Bayreuth; in 1886 he directed the performance of Tristan und Isolde at the Bayreuth Festival. From 1881 to 1903 he was conductor at the Karlsruhe Opera.
Felix Mottl suffered a heart attack on while conducting his 100th performance of Tristan in Munich, and died in a Munich hospital 13 days later.
