Life
Günter Raphael studied with Arnold Ebel, Robert Kahn, Max Trapp, Walter Fischer and Arnold Mendelssohn (on Karl Straube’s recommendation).
Raphael was teacher of music theory and composition at the State Conservatory and Institute for Church Music in Leipzig (1926-34). During the Nazi regime (1934-45), he couldn’t exercise his profession, and all performances of his works were prohibited.
He restarted teaching composition in 1949 at the Conservatory in Duisburg, and at the State Music Conservatory in Cologne (1956, 1957), and at the Peter Cornelius Conservatory in Mainz (1956-58).
