Rudolph Reti was born in the village of Užice in what is now the Czech Republic, then part of Austria-Hungary. He studied musicology and piano in Vienna and probably immigrated to America in the 1930s, later becoming a citizen.
Rudolph met Elizabeth (Schoepf) (Huebscher) Lachmann in New Haven, Connecticut, where both were attached to the Yale School of Music. The New York Times announcement of their 18 September 1941 marriage was: “Wedding of Elizabeth Lachmann of New Haven and NYC to Dr Rudolph Reti, formerly of Vienna, Austria, and founder Salzburg Chamber Music Festival. Dean of Yale Divinity School, Rev Luther Weigle, performed the ceremony. The bride is a well-known concert soprano…”
The Library of Congress, which has a “Rudolph and Richard Reti Collection” in its Music Division, described Rudolph: “Rudolph Reti (1885-1957), composer, pianist and musicologist, was a pupil of Eduard Steuermann. As a pianist he premiered Schoenberg's Opus 19 Piano Pieces. His music and analytical technique are represented in this collection especially in the 15 full scores and in the textual manuscripts on theory and analysis. He is the author of Tonality, Atonality, Pantonality: A study of some trends in twentieth-century music…”
Slightly less than a year after their marriage, Elizabeth Reti died of cancer in a New York City hospital.
On 26 February 1943, Rudolph married Jean Sahlmark, a pianist, musicologist, teacher, and scholar. She reputedly contributed to the writing of his book The Thematic Process in Music (London 1951, 1961). She also helped prepare his two posthumously published books: Tonality, Atonality, Pantonality (London 1958) and Thematic Patterns in Sonatas of Beethoven (London 1967).
Rudolph’s younger brother Richard Réti was a grandmaster chess player, world champion, and author of endgame studies. (Richard retained the acute accent mark, while Rudolph did not.) They were the sons of physician Samuel Réti and his wife Anna.
