Bernd Alois Zimmermann (20 March 1918 in in Bliesheim – 10 August 1970 in Königsdorf) was a German composer. He is perhaps best known for his opera Die Soldaten, which is regarded as one of the most important German operas of the 20th century, after those of Berg. His eclectic music, which employs a wide range of techniques including dodecaphony and musical quotation, encompasses the styles of the avant-garde, serial, and postmodern. Zimmermann was Professor of Composition as well as Film and Broadcast Music at the Cologne Music University. Among his notable students was Clarence Barlow.
