Karl Weigl's music will not disappear. We will return to it when the storm has passed. We will return to those who wrote true music . (Pablo Casals)

I've always considered Karl Weigl one of the finest composers of the old school; one who continued the glittering Viennese tradition. He keeps alive the spirit of the musical culture that best represents Vienna.
(Arnold Schoenberg, 1938)

I always considered Karl Weigl as one of the best composers of the old school; one of those who continued the Viennese glittering tradition. He truly preserves this old culture of musical spirit which represents the best of Viennese culture.
