Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Franz Schreker
was an Austrian composer, conductor, teacher and administrator.
Primarily a composer of operas, his style is characterized by aesthetic
plurality, timbral experimentation, strategies of extended tonality and
conception of total music theatre into the narrative of 20th-century
music. Schreker was the eldest son of the Bohemian Jewish court
photographer Ignaz Schrecker and his wife Eleonore von Clossmann, who
was a member of the Catholic aristocracy of Styria. He grew up during
travels across half of Europe and, after the early death of his father,
the family moved from Linz to Vienna where in 1892, with the help of a
scholarship, Schreker entered the Vienna Conservatory. Starting with
violin studies, with Sigismund Bachrich and Arnold Rosé, he moved into
the composition class of Robert Fuchs, graduating as a composer in 1900
