Pavel Haas Czech Republic

Biography

Pavel Haas (born 21 June 1899 in Brno, died 17 October 1944 in the Concentration Camp of Auschwitz) was a Czech composer of modern classical music. His formal musical education began at the age of 14 in Brno. He studied composition at the Conservatory from 1919 to 1921 under Jan Kunc and Vilém Petrželka, followed by two additional years of study at the school of Leoš Janá?ek. Only 18 of his more than 50 works written during the following 20 years have been categorised by the self-criticizing musician himself.
