Rainer Maria Rilke - 1875-1896.
He was born as René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke in Prague, Austria-Hungary, on 4 December 1875. His childhood and youth in Prague were not very happy.

| | | | | List of Austrians: Encyclopedia II - Alfred Adler - Emigration and early death In 1932, after most of his Austrian clinics were closed due to his Jewish heritage, Adler left Austria for a professorship at the Long Island College of Medicine. His death from a heart attack in Aberdeen, Scotland during a lecture tour in 1937, was a blow to the influence of his ideas although a number of them were taken up by neo-Freudians.
Nonetheless, there exist presently several schools dedicated to carrying on the work of Alfred Adler such as The Adler School of Professional Psychology which was founded as The Alfred Adler Inst ...

| | | | | | List of Austrians: Encyclopedia II - Arnold Schoenberg - Music
Arnold Schoenberg - Works and ideas.
To understand why Schoenberg composed the music that he did, it is useful to begin with his own statement: "Had times been 'normal' (before and after 1914) then the music of our time would have been very different."
Schoenberg, as a Jewish intellectual, was passionately committed to the concept of unshaken adherence to an "Idea" (such as the concept of an inexpressible God) and the pursuance of Truth. He saw the development of music accelerating through the works of Wag ...

| | | | | | List of Austrians: Encyclopedia II - Franz Werfel - Biography Born in Prague (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), he was a contemporary and colleague of Franz Kafka, Max Brod, Martin Buber, and other Jewish intellectuals at the turn of the 20th century. He served in the Austro-Hungarian army both on the Russian front and in the press office, but was charged with treason for his vocal pacifism.
In 1929 he married Alma (Schindler) Mahler, widow of Gustav Mahler, who divorced architect Walter Gropius for him. He was already an established author, but his true claim to international fame came ...

| | | | | | List of Austrians: Encyclopedia II - Franz Grillparzer - Assessment Although Grillparzer was essentially a dramatist, his lyric poetry is in the intensity of its personal note hardly inferior to Lenau's; and the bitterness of his later years found vent in biting and stinging epigrams that spared few of his greater contemporaries. As a prose writer, he has left one powerful short story, Der arme Spielmann (1848), and a volume of critical studies on the Spanish drama, which shows how completely he had succeeded in ide ...

| | | | | | | List of Austrians: Encyclopedia II - Anton Bruckner - Reception in the 20th Century The Nazis often appropriated the music of Bruckner for propaganda purposes, and Hitler even consecrated a bust of Bruckner at Regensburg's Walhalla temple in 1937 in a widely photographed ceremony. This was in part because Hitler shared Bruckner's hometown of Linz. He was dead (unlike a living composer of the time, Richard Strauss) and so could not object to propaganda use of his music. In addition, Bruckner, like Hitler, idolized Wagner and Hitler also identified with Bruckner as an artist rejected by the establishment in Vienna, which incl ...

| | | | | List of Austrians: Encyclopedia II - Arnold Schoenberg - Biography Arnold Schönberg was born to an Ashkenazi Jewish family in the Leopoldstadt district (in earlier times a Jewish ghetto) in Vienna [1]. Although his mother Pauline, a native of Prague, was a piano teacher (his father Samuel, a native of Bratislava, was a wealthy shopkeeper), Arnold was largely self-taught, taking only counterpoint lessons with the composer Alexander von Zemlinsky, who was to become his first brother-in-law.

| | | | | List of Austrians: Encyclopedia II - Austrians - National identity Since the end of WW II, and with the growth of newer generations, the self-image of Austrians has changed considerably. After the War, most still did not have any confidence in an independent Austria. With the passing of time and the consolidation of the state, and the passing of new generations, this attitude has changed to a more independent viewpoint. This change in attitude has been reflected in the way Austrian history is viewed. The rule of the Babenberg and Habsburg are seen as times, from which the country and its people can forge an ...

| | | | | | List of Austrians: Encyclopedia II - Arnold Schoenberg - Extramusical interests Schoenberg was also a painter of considerable individuality, whose pictures were considered good enough to exhibit alongside those of Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky, and he wrote extensively: plays and poems, as well as essays not only about music but about politics and the social/historical situation of the Jewish people.
Schoenberg suffered from triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number thirteen); it is said that the reason his late opera is called Moses and Aron, rather than Moses and Aaron (the correct spelling with tw ...
