Wolfgang Puschnig

Austrian saxophonist

Wolfgang Puschnig belongs to the musical record as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Wolfgang Puschnig as Austrian saxophonist.

Wolfgang Puschnig was born at Klagenfurt am Wörthersee in 1956. His recorded nationality is Austria.

Amplification, television and the album as an art form defined this period, and the record industry reached its greatest scale.

He worked as saxophonist, university teacher and composer.

The instruments recorded are saxophone, flute and bass clarinet.

His work is classed as jazz.

Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.

That the work came out of Austria shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
