Kathe Volkart-Schlager

Kathe Volkart-Schlager (7 February 1897 – 1976)[1] was an Austrian composer and music educator, and pianist.[2]

Volkart-Schlager was born in Vienna and studied at the Stuttgart College of Music (now the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart) with Max Pauer, Wilhelm Kempff,[3] and Joseph Hass. She graduated in 1917 and gave concerts and lectures for teachers, traveling to Sweden, Turkey, and Finland.[4] She married architect Hans Volkart and they had at least three children, one of whom was psychotherapist and author Silvia Volkart Gorres. Volkart-Schlager taught at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart for many years.[5]

Volkart-Schlager's music, much of it made for piano with four hands, was published by Suddeutscher Musikverlag (now Barenreiter). The owner, Willy Muller, was considered daring for publishing Volkart-Schlager's works during the 1940s since she opposed Nazism.[6]
