Josef Schmid (composer)
Josef Schmid (1890, 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 World War I Schmid emigrated to New York City and established himself as a teacher of composition, basing his teaching on the writings of Schoenberg. His composition students included Joe Maneri, Gus Pardalis, Harold Seletsky, Robert Di Domenica, and Frieda Schmitt-Lermann.
