Hans erich Apostel [Composer]

 

Hans Erich Apostel (born 1901 in Karlsruhe; died 1972 in Vienna) was a German-born Austrian composer of classical music.

 

From 1916 to 1919 he studied in Karlsruhe with Alfred Lorenz. He was also a student of both Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg, two prominent members of the so-called Second Viennese School. Apostel's music was banned during the Nazi era, but he continued to live in Vienna, where he died in 1972.

 

Apostel was responsible for new editions of the operas of Alban Berg, Wozzeck and Lulu.
