message: Hugo Türpe 
b  Mohsdorf 3 sept. 1859 ;  d  2 july 1891
was born in Mohsdorf at Burgstädt September 3, 1859, the eighth child of Carl Ferdinand Türpe, a stocking weaver, and his wife Amalie.
His musical talent was developing at an early age. The father, a village musician, recognized the talent of his youngest son and had music director Grau from Mittweida give him trumpet lessons since 1874. On the heels of successful performances with the city band of Mittweida the young talent was recommended to music director Mannsfeld  at the Gewerbehaus in Dresden, who accepted Türpe into his orchestra. There also it did not take long for the young virtuoso to become the declared darling of Dresden's concert audience.
In 1881, the so-called "Master of the Piston" received the call to join the "Bilse 
Band" in Berlin, directed by Benjamin Bilse, and of which many excellent artists and soloists were members. What followed was a period of extended concert tours in Germany as well as other European countries. Türpe assured sold-out theaters wherever the orchestra performed, thanks to his unrivaled mastery of the cornet à pistons. He met Franz Liszt in Erfurt in 1883. Liszt was full of praise for the masterful technique with which Türpe played his instrument. He appeared in front of his audience in over fifty consecutive performances in Amsterdam's Grand Theater alone. 
Hugo Türpe toured America 1886-1889, after Benajamin Bilse had retired; and audiences everywhere showed boundless enthusiasm for him and his play. Back in Europe, he performed with the Burgstädt Music Choir under the direction of Clemens Graupner and toured in Germany. He became ill during one of these tours, in Munich. Hard work, often calling for several concerts per week, and a restless life took their toll. Hugo Türpe died July 2, 1891, at the age of 31. Tuberculosis and exhaustion, that was doctor Pohl's diagnosis.
Hugo Türpe was not only an excellent virtuoso; he also created his own compositions specifically for "his" instrument, the cornet à pistons. To be mentioned here are Ocean-Fantasy, Fantasy Virtuoso, Fantasy for Cornet in A "Appassionata" and the Nocturno for Harp and Cornet. Only of his "Fantasy Appassionata," which was interpreted by the trumpet player professor Stegmann, who performed the work again with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zürich in 1912, has a copy been found to date.
