History
The Institute initially unofficially issued for self-promotion as the New Vienna Conservatory was founded in 1909 as a private music school of Theobald Kretschmann. And in response to the above was carried out survey of the traditional Conservatory of the Society of Music Lovers for kk Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. From the " academics " initially perceived as competition, because also the unofficial use of the title Conservatory was ( until 1921 ) objected again and again. Only in 1932 could the name New Vienna Conservatory are officially out. Until then, the music establishment has been through many a crisis time, and experience conversion.
Out only two years of Kretschmann, only secured a club creation and expansion of subjects the survival of the establishment during the First World War. Josef Reitler it was, finally, who ( in 1915 ) with many years of dedication and skill helped as head of the Institute for recovery, high level and reputation. He managed to increasingly attract famous musicians with good reputation from the public concert life for teaching. Awareness were also repeatedly taken " timely ", innovative training options in the program. So, for example, it came in the mid 1920s to the establishment of a separate children's section or in the 1930s to those for Operetta / cabaret, jazz orchestra or sound film.
The quality of education and reputation of the Conservatory were reflected in an increased influx of students. For example, the frequency of 40 increased in 1915 to over 1300 by 1929. Was not until the economic crisis again led to a significant decrease of the number of students in a row.
The New Vienna Conservatory has developed over the years of its existence next to the Academy (now University) of Music and Performing Arts for significant and innovative music educational institution in Austria. The coming to power of the Nazis in March 1938 put an end to this process. Besides Joseph Reitler even many teachers were fired for "racial " reasons, the Conservatory in the autumn closed in 1938 and dissolved the sponsoring organization. Part of the time still employed teachers was transferred to the newly established music school of the city of Vienna.
