description Franz Schmidt Overview
Franz Schmidt (1874-1939) was an Austrian composer, cellist, pianist, and teacher whose music extends the late Romantic tradition into the early 20th century. His output includes four symphonies, chamber music, organ works, the operas Notre Dame and Fredigundis, and the large-scale oratorio The Book with Seven Seals. His dense counterpoint and expansive forms are of particular interest to listeners exploring Austrian music between Bruckner, Mahler, and later modernism.
