Cornélie van Oosterzee

Returning to the Netherlands upon the death of her mother in 1888, Cornélie resumed her classes with Nicolaï but left soon after for Berlin upon the advice of her friends Julius Rontgen and Johannes Masschaert.

After 2 years in Berlin, she moved to Stuttgart to study with composers Samuel de Lange and Robert Radecke.

Soon she returned to Berlin upon her acceptance into Heinrich Urban's Master School of Instrumental Composers.

Influenced Wagner and Strauss, Van Oosterzee composed in a late romantic idiom.

The only work of hers referencing her time in Indonesia is Sechs leichte Klavierstucke op.55, which included a Malaiisches Wiegenliedchen and a Javanische Tanz.
