Julius Buchwald, 1930 [Wikimedia]

Julius Buchwald was born in Austria and migrated to Great Britain before WWII and to the USA afterwards. He composed about 3,000 two- and threemovers. He was also International Judge for composition. The collection "Selected Compositions of Julius Buchwald" was published by Mike Prcic in 2005.
Let's quote Dr S. Dowd from the USCF website:
He also composed music, having graduated from the Vienna Volkskonsortium. He supported himself first as a button-maker and then ran a store for philatelists in New York. You can find an mp3 of one of his songs at http://klangwege.orpheustrust.at/musikschaffende_e.php?detail=9 .

Among his remarkable achievements, one may quote his doubling of the Stocchi theme.
