==Life and musical career==
Kürsteiner was the son of a French-Swiss father (August Kürsteiner) and an American mother (Jeannie Taylor Woodruff Kürsteiner).〔Saerchinger, 1918 ''Who's Who in Music'' entry, p. 349〕 His early education was in New York, then he studied music in Leipzig, including composition with Salomon Jadassohn and Richard Hofmann and piano with Johannes Wiedenbach and Robert Teichmüller. He returned to the United States in 1893, settled in New York City and was appointed to the piano and music theory faculty of the Ogontz School for Girls in Philadelphia.〔His ad in the ''Musical Blue Book of America, 1915'' calls it the "Ogontz School for Young Ladies".〕 He held that position until 1930. Between 1896 and 1906 he also created, developed, and directed a program of piano study at The Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.〔
Kürsteiner founded a music publishing house in New York called Kürsteiner & Rice, and published much of his own music there. The "silent" partner in the firm may have been the operatic tenor Leon Louis Rice.〔See his entry in Saerchinger, 1918 ''Who's Who in Music'', p. 522〕 The singer was known to have performed Kürsteiner's songs on tour,〔For example, the review of his concert in the July 12, 1912, New London, Connecticut, newspaper ''The Day'' on p. 12 indicates that he sang four of Kürsteiner's songs: "Canticle of Love", "The Betrothal", "If I Were a Rain Drop", and "His Lullaby".〕 and some of the songs were written for or dedicated to him.〔According to the announcement of his concert in the May 9, 1912, Meriden, Connecticut, newspaper ''The Meriden Morning Record'' on p. 25, the tenor would sing four of Kürsteiner's songs: Canticle of Love, The Betrothal, Invocation to Eros, and Morning, and the article further indicates that The Betrothal and Morning were "written for and dedicated to Mr. Rice".〕
On July 21, 1901, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin,〔 Kürsteiner married Myrta French, an operatic soprano.〔''The 1919-20 Musical Blue Book of America,'' p. 225〕〔Prior to her marriage, French was doing well as a performer; on September 29, 1895, the ''New York Times'' reported that she would be touring with the Sousa band the following season.〕〔French's young career was also mentioned in the 1896 edition of ''Munsey's Magazine'', volume 15.〕 In 1938 the Kursteiners moved to Los Angeles, California, where he lived the last years of his life.〔
