Full biography Hans Vogt

Hans Vogt was a German composer born in Danzig, Prussia (now Gdansk) on May 14, 1911. He wrote a range of works during his lifetime, including a symphony, two concertos for orchestra, two piano concertos, a violin concerto, and a cello concerto, among others. Vogt was heavily influenced by modernism and incorporated elements from Hindemith, Schoenberg, and Bartok into his compositions.

During World War II, Vogt served as the music director in Stralsund. After returning from the war, he continued to compose and wrote over 60 works in total. Vogt's Dialoge is one of his notable compositions, and sheet music and downloads are available for purchase through Schott Music.

Vogt also played a role in the education of other composers; Barbara Heller studied composition under him in Mannheim. Vogt passed away in 1992, but his legacy lives on through his music and the impact he had on the classical music world.
