Roberto Gerhard (1896-1970) Roberto Gerhard was born in Catalonia, Spain, and studied composition with Schoenberg in Vienna and Berlin during the 1920s. He taught at universities in Barcelona and the USA, before settling in Cambridge, where he worked as a freelance composer. In the 1960s he received many commissions, notably from the BBC, and with an increase in commercial recordings and concert performances, Gerhard's music became more widely known, bringing him the rewards denied to him for nearly half a century. He died in 1970, at the age of 73.
