Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Karl Goldmark (1830-1915)
Bio
Goldmark was born in Keszthely, Hungary, and studied violin at Sopron. He was sent to the Vienna Conservatory to continue his studies with Böhm and Preyer. He struggled to make ends meet playing violin for theater companies, teaching composition - briefly tutoring Jean Sibelius, and writing about music. Goldmark developed friendships with Brahms and Strauss and was musically influenced by Wagner but Goldmark's Jewish heritage and Wagner's antisemitism kept them distant.
