Walter Braunfels

Walter Braunfels ((:ˈvaltɐ ˈbʁaʊnfɛls); 19 December 1882 – 19 March 1954) was a German composer, pianist, and music educator.
==Life==
Walter Braunfels was born in Frankfurt am Main. His first music teacher was his mother, the great-niece of the composer Louis Spohr (Levi 2001). He continued his piano studies in Frankfurt at the Hoch Conservatory with James Kwast .
Braunfels studied law and economics at the university in Munich until after a performance of Richard Wagner's ''Tristan und Isolde'' he decided on music. He went to Vienna in 1902 to study with the pianist and teacher Theodor Leschetizky. He then returned to Munich to study composition with Felix Mottl and Ludwig Thuille . In February 1918 he was wounded at the front and in June 1918 on his return to Frankfurt converted from Protestantism to Catholicism, composing his ''Te Deum'' of 1920–21 "not as music for musicians but as a personal expression of faith" (Braunfels, cited in ).
He achieved early success with the melodious opera ''Die Vögel'' (''The Birds'', 1920), such that Adolf Hitler, not realising that Braunfels was half-Jewish, in 1923 invited Braunfels to write an anthem for the Nazi Party, which Braunfels "indignantly turned down" .
Braunfels performed as a professional pianist for many years. In 1949 he played Beethoven's ''Diabelli Variations'' on a radio broadcast. At his farewell concert as pianist on 19 January 1952, he played Bach's D major Toccata, Beethoven's piano sonata no. 32 op. 111 and the arrangement of the ''Organ Fantasy and Fugue'' in G minor by Liszt .
Braunfels was invited by Konrad Adenauer, then mayor of Cologne, to serve as the first director (and founder together with Hermann Abendroth) of the Cologne Academy of Music (''Hochschule für Musik Köln'') from 1925 to 1933, and again from 1945 to 1950 (; ; ). With the rise of the Nazis to power he was dismissed, and listed as being half-Jewish in the Nazi list of musicians composing what the regime called ''degenerate music''. He retired from public life during the Hitler years but continued to compose. The war passed peacefully for Braunfels and his wife, though his three sons were conscripted into the Wehrmacht (Torp 2010). After World War II, he returned to public life and on 12 October 1945 again became director, and in 1948 president, of the Cologne Academy of Music and further enhanced his reputation as a music educator with high ideals .
