Karl Scheit

Biography (read more)

Karl Scheit was born on 21 April 1909 in Schönbrunn (now Svinov, a district of Ostrava) and died in Vienna on 22 November 1993. He was the son of a military bandmaster. He first had violin lessons from his father and taught himself guitar. He studied violin at the Linz conservatory, then guitar with Jakob Ortner at the Vienna Musikakademie from 1926 to 1928. From 1929 he toured as a concert guitarist in Europe, Asia and America. He taught at the Vienna Musikakademie from 1933 to 1984.

Together with Luise Walker, he had a decisive influence on guitar teaching in Vienna. His students included Ralph Towner, Konrad Ragossnig and Leon Koudelak. He edited guitar literature for Universal Edition and, from 1957, for Doblinger in Vienna. Through the television series Gitarre für alle he made his instrument known. He recorded many LPs and CDs. In 1953 he co-founded the ensemble Schola antiqua Wien, devoted to historical performance practice.
