Born in Kattowitz on 11 July 1926, died in Berlin on 17 October 2008; Friedrich Scholz was a German composer. After first musical instruction in his native town he began studies in composition and piano in Berlin in 1945; he lived in Berlin until his death. From the 1950s onwards many of his works were performed in public and broadcast on radio; in 1963 he received the Karl-Sczuka-Preis and in 1973 the Goldenes Mikrophon. In the Cybele catalogue he is represented by Thema mit Variationen (1998) on New Chamber Music: Clarinet Trios of the 20th Century (2002), played by the Trio Contrasts; the piece moves in a freely tonal frame and develops its structure organically from the material.
