Composer
Hugo Wolf
Wrote about three hundred songs in bursts of a few months separated by years of nothing. Syphilis put him in an asylum at thirty-seven and he never came out.
Hugo Philipp Jacob Wolf was an Austrian composer, particularly noted for his art songs, or Lieder. He brought to this form a concentrated expressive intensity which was unique in late Romantic music, somewhat related to that of the Second Viennese School in concision but diverging greatly in technique.
