  Hugo Wolf - LoveToKnow 1911
HUGO WOLF (1860-1903), German, composer, was born on the 13th of March 1860 at Windischgraz in Styria.
But with Wolf methods of form and style are so inseparably linked with the poetical conceptions which they embody, that they can hardly be considered apart.
To displace an accent was for him as heinous an act of sacrilege as to misinterpret a conception or to ignore an essential suggestion.

 Hugo Wolf: Biography - Classic Cat
Hugo Wolf spent most of his life in Vienna, becoming a representative of "New German" trend in Lieder, a trend which followed from the expressive, chromatic, and dramatic musical innovations of Richard Wagner.
Wolf's activities as a critic began to pick up; he was merciless in his criticism of the inferior works he saw taking over the musical atmosphere of the time (Anton Rubinstein in particular he considered odious) and fervent in his support of the genius of Liszt, Schubert, and Chopin.
Wolf himself saw the merit of these compositions immediately, raving to friends that they were the best things he had yet composed (it was with the aid and urging of several of the more influential of them that the works were initially published).

  Hugo Wolf Information
Wolf took up the tradition of renowned composers like Schubert and Schumann, but in his work he created a new style of setting poems to music, which made him known as the creator of the modern German Lied or art song.
Wolf's circle of friends included Hugo and Marie Werner, who let him live in their house in the town of Perchtoldsdorf during the cold season, when they were not using it themselves.
The Hugo Wolf Museum was established in 1973 after Dr. Otto Werner, the grandson of Hugo and Marie Werner, donated the house and parts of his collection of Hugo Wolf’s works to the community of Perchtoldsdorf.

 Hugo Wolf
In 1895 he composed his only completed opera, Der Corregidor, but it was unsuccessful; in 1897 he composed his last songs and had the mental breakdown that led to his terminal illness.
Wolf's strength was the compression of large-scale forms and ideas - the essences of grand opera, tone poem and dramatic symphony - into song.
Combining expressive techniques in the piano part with an independent vocal line, and using an array of rhythmic and harmonic devices to depict textual imagery, illustrate mood and create musical structure, he continued and extended the lied tradition of Schubert and Schumann.

 Musicians Of Today - Hugo Wolf
Philipp Wolf played the violin, the guitar, and the piano, and used to have little quintet parties at his house, in which he played the first violin, Hugo the second violin, Hugo's brother the violoncello, an uncle the horn, and a friend the tenor violin.
Wolf up to that time had been smothered, but this publication stirred the life in him, and was the means of unloosing his genius.
Wolf's work consists chiefly, as we have already seen, of Lieder, and these Lieder are characterised by the application to lyrical music of principles established by Wagner in the domain of drama.
