Josef Schmid (composer)

Josef Schmid (1980, in Germany – 1969, in New York City) was a conductor, composer, and composition teacher. He was one of the first students of Alban Berg,[1] with whom he studied before World War I.[2] As a conductor Schmid had been an assistant to both Zemlinsky[3] and Erich Kleiber.[4] As a composer Schmid was associated with Berg and Webern but considered himself a musical "godson" of Schoenberg.[5] After the War Schmid emigrated to New York City and established himself as a teacher of composition, basing his teaching on the writings of Schoenbergs. His most important composition students included Robert Di Domenica and Joe Maneri.
