Hugo Kauder (9 June 1888 – 22 July 1972) was a mid-20th-century Austrian composer, pedagogue, and music theorist who was born in Tovacov (German: Tobitschau), Moravia (now in the Czech Republic).
He defied the atonal trend of his generation with his uniquely harmonic, contrapuntal style.
His legacy of over 300 works, many yet to be published, is receiving renewed interest today.
