The founding of the choir, which he later was to conduct, goes back to the time of Maximilian I. Krauss graduated from the Vienna Music Academy where he studied under RichardHeuberger and Hermann Graedener.
From 1924-1929, he was director of the opera and conductor of the museum concerts in Frankfurt am Main, while at the same time, conducting the Tonkunstler orchestra in Vienna and directing the conducting school at the Vienna Music Academy.
At that time Richard Strauss intervened with the Austrian officials on his behalf; throughout his entire life, it is of note that his uncompromising artistic nature seemed to often be in conflict with "officials" and that his great successes were earned.
