During the early 1930s he was a student at the Akademie der Tonkunst in Munich where Carl Orff was his teacher and Orff remained a powerful influence on his music. Returning to Switzerland in the mid 1930s, he devoted his life to composition. His most successful work was Romeo und Julia, premiered in Dresden in 1940 under Karl Böhm. He subsequently wrote operas for the radio, including Die schwarze Spinne, and television.
