Education and career path
Rosl Schmidt received piano lessons from Stefanie Hudnik at the age of four and until 1926. After attending the Lyceum, she became a student at the State Academy of Music in Munich in 1927 with Walther Lampe (1872–1964) (piano) and Joseph Haas (composition).
At the age of 16 she took over the organist service at the Munich Theatinerkirche , where she gained recognition especially in musical improvisation. Her final exam at the university went hand in hand with the Felix Mottl Music Prize of the Bavarian State Government (1931). As a pianist already performing at home and abroad, she studied for another year with Robert Teichmüller in Leipzig in 1938 .
Since 1941 she lived in the Hildebrandhaus in Munich, which had become vacant through " Aryanization " , where she also gave private lessons. Wolfgang Ruoff , who was also a piano professor at the Music Academy , had lived with her since 1934 . Then there were the sculptors Ernst Andreas Rauch , Wilhelm Nida-Rümelin and Theodor Georgii . The latter was the son-in-law of the builder Adolf von Hildebrand .
From 1948 she taught at the music college, in 1954 she took over a piano master class as an extraordinary professor. In 1957 she was appointed full professor there.

Known of these were, for example, Maria João Pires , Karl-Hermann Mrongrovius, Begoña Uriarte, Michaela Pühn, Peter Sauermann, Yasuko Matsuda, Siegfried Mauser and Michael Leslie.
