Josef Schrammel

Josef Schrammel, (3 March 1852 – 24 November 1895), was a composer and musician from Austria-Hungary.

He was an illegitimate son of Kasper Schrammel and his later wife Alosia Ernst. Very early in his life, his father recognised the talent of Josef and sent him, despite financial hardship, to the Conservatory of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (Society of Friends of Music in Vienna) where he received violin lessons. Later in his life, he travelled to the Orient. In 1878 Josef founded, along with his brother Johann Schrammel and a guitarist, a trio; the following year Anton Strohmayer replaced the first guitarist. This eventually, with the addition of clarinetist Georg Dänzer, became the famous Schrammel Quartet.

His grave is located in Hernals in Vienna.
