Life

Dietrich was a pupil of the Leipzig Conservatory, then in Dusseldorf student of Robert Schumann. This dedicated his 1853 composition ' fairy tales ' (op. 132).

In the years 1855-1861 he was a municipal director of music in Bonn and from 1861 to 1890 Kapellmeister at the Oldenburg State Theatre.

Schumann, Brahms and Dietrich composed in 1853 together with her boyfriend Joachim a violin sonata, entitled "Free but lonely " ( the motto of the young Joseph Joachim ).

While studying law at Leipzig he became a member of the Leipzig University singers shaft to St. Pauli (today German singer shaft ) in winter 1847/48.

Posthumous reception

Dietrich's work became widely for no apparent reason into oblivion.
