Jemnitz, a Hungarian composer, critic, and conductor, was a pupil at the Leipzig Conservatory of Reger (composition), Nikisch (conducting), Straube (organ) and Sitt (violin). ... His first published work, the Piano Sonata no.1, was favourably received by Die Musik in 1915, and thereafter more than a dozen of his youthful pieces were published by Wunderhorn. ... At the same time, his articles, which display a wide-ranging knowledge, his organizing activities and his pressing for Hungary to take a more active part in the ISCM all made him a well-known and widely respected figure abroad. He was in personal contact with Adorno, Berg, Pisk, Reich, Schoenberg and Stein." Vera Lampert in Grove Music Online.
