41 compositions and incomplete manuscripts
by "Marie Louka" (1901-1941)
There is an explanation why only two early compositions by "Marie Louka"
were copyrighted in that name. That pseudonym was derived from the name
of Schmid's first wife, Marie Louise Kaekel, whom he married in 1902 and
who died in 1903.
