Biography
Hans Erich Apostel was a composer born in 1901 whose modernist explorations carried forward the lessons of the Second Viennese School while embracing his own lyrical sensibility.
As both creator and educator he enriched Austria's musical landscape, and his colleagues at Vienna Central Cemetery recall the thoughtful kindness with which he shared his craft until his death in 1972.
