Hugo Wolf

Hugo Wolf (March 13, 1860 – February 22, 1903) was a Austrian composer of Slovene origin, 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 conciseness but utterly unrelated in technique.
