| Notes | After WW2, Krenek received several offers to accept professorial positions in German and Austrian universities. He taught courses in composition in both countries and spoke repeatedly at the European Forum Alpbach in Tyrol. While he spent a considerable amount of his time working in Europe, he never remigrated to Europe. With more than 240 works, he is one of the most productive composers of his time. |
