Friederike Schwarz (15 January 1910 – 5 May 1945) was a Czech composer, educator, pianist and writer.
Her musical talent came to the attention of composer Fidelio Finke, director of the German Academy of Music and Performing Arts, who helped Schwarz get scholarships to study piano and composition at the Academy.
[2] Schwarz was mentored by Erich Steinhard, the editor of Der Auftakt,[2] who favorably reviewed her compositions.
During the 1930s, she succeeded him as the Prague correspondent for the Berlin publication Die Musik.
[1][5] Schwarz's Concerto for Piano and Chamber Orchestra won a prize from the Prague Literary-Artistic Society.
