Considered one of the outstanding musicians of the city, Rastatter had a large conservatory and was considered a fine composer. His violin studies were taught in musical colleges across the United States. One of his collections was entitled [[RASTATTER'S ANALYTICAL VIOLIN SCHOOL]]. In 1889 when he had just assumed the leadership of the Dubuque Liederkranz, he was also serving as the director of the Saegerbund, Helvetia Maennerchor, and the [[DUBUQUE CORNET BAND]]. (1) In 1892 he was the director of the Luxemburg Society, [[RASTATTER'S JUVENILE BRASS BAND]] and an orchestra of fifteen musicians. (2)

In 1894 friends along with members of the band and orchestra hosted a dinner for him before he left for an eastern publishing company to direct the publication of another instruction book. (3)
