Ludwig Thuille.

Ludwig Wilhelm Andreas Maria Thuille (Bozen, 30 November 1861 – 5 February 1907) was an Austrian composer and teacher, numbered for a while among the leading operatic composers of the so-called Munich School of composers, whose most famous representative was Richard Strauss.[1][2]

  1. ^ The Munich School of composers, active from the last decades of the 19th century until the 20th, embraced Wagner's harmonic language but eschewed the compositional devices associated with modernism. Their compositional approach produced a highly sophisticated Late Romantic music and yet very appealing to a sizable public. The composers Josef Rheinberger, Ludwig Thuille, Max Reger, Alexander Ritter, Max Schillings, August Reuß, Walter Courvoisier, Walter Braunfels, Richard Trunk are included in the group.
