Erwin Schulhoff

Erwin Schulhoff (Czech: Ervín Šulhov; 8 June 1894  18 August 1942) was an Austro-Czech composer and pianist. He was one of the figures in the generation of European musicians whose successful careers were prematurely terminated by the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany and whose works have been rarely noted or performed.
