Alfred Heuß

He contributed the nineteenth volume of Denkmäler deutscher Tonkunst in editing Adam Krieger's Arien (1667).

Oliver Hilmes has described how Heuß developed the Zeitschrift für Musik during the Weimar Republic into a bulwark against the avant-garde and everything supposedly 'un-German'.

Heuß' rigid national attitude was accompanied by hatred of modernity and pronounced anti-Semitism.

An article in 1925 criticized Arnold Schoenberg's appointment as head of one of the three master classes for composition at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin.

At the outset, he made his aesthetic judgment of Schoenberg's compositions: "Every connoisseur of the circumstances, whether standing on the right or the left, knows that the time of Schoenberg's hysterical convulsions and feverish shivers in music is over, that he is heading for and must head for completely different goals, because the embodied unnaturalness cannot be taken as a principle in length.
