Paul Kurzbach was born in Hohndorf early in the twentieth century.

He saw himself as motivated by a social mission, strove to create musical institutions for a broad mass and regarded music as a means of changing the world.

He appears to have left us two symphonies:

Symphony no. 1, opus 12, 1926
and symphony in C major, 1952.

Also a chamber symphony, opus 21, from 1931.

In adddition he left us nine string quartets, composed in the years 1945, 1947, 1948, 1958, 1975, 1977, 1985, 1986 and 1991.

Gerhard Thielemann - violin 1
Heide Schwarzbach - violin 2
Erik Kornek - viola
Thomas Baez - cello



------
