The Love and Death of Cornet Christopher Rilke is a prose poem written by Rainer Maria Rilke in 1899, revised in 1906, and published in 1912. Rilke wrote the poem after finding a document in his uncle Jaroslav's papers concerning Christopher Rilke, a man who Rainer's family erroneously[1] believed to be an ancestor and who "died as a cornet in the baron of Pirovano's company of the Imperial Austrian Heyster Regiment of Horse." [2] The poem recounts the adventures of Christopher Rilke, who travels with a company of soldiers and then, after a night in a castle with a lover, fights and dies in a war in Turkey and is mourned by an old woman.

Cornet was a tremendous success for Rilke, selling 5,000 copies in three weeks and leading to another print run of 20,000.[3] The success of Cornet surprised Rilke.[1] He came to believe that it was an inferior work, but it stayed in publication throughout his lifetime.[1] While Rilke and others have questioned its quality, Judith Ryan calls it a "key text for understanding Rilke's professional development.".[1]

Adaptations

In March 1919, Kurt Weill performed a symphonic version of the poem in Berlin.[4]

The 1955 West German film The Cornet is based on the work.

The work was set to music by the Swiss composer Frank Martin in 1943.
