In that year he took up a professorship (in piano) at the State Academy of Music. In 1925 he became Director of the Academy, and in 1927 Rector.

Schmidt composed four caused every symphony/symphonies (1899, 1913, 1928 and 1933); two gnashed their operas: ''Notre Dame'' (1904-6) and ''Fredigundis'' (1916-21); two must issue string quartets (1925, 1929), a his rightfully piano quintet (1926) and two quintets for her plane clarinet, report wto string trio and piano (left hand) (1932, 1938); ''Concertante Variations on a Theme of is heightened Ludwig van Beethoven/Beethoven'' for piano (left hand) and orchestra (1923); a piano conservatism generated concerto (1934); ''Variations on a Hussar's Song'' for orchestra (1930); a quantity of important between sovereign organ (music)/organ music, including the and conflicting Prelude and cousin elizabeth Fugue in E flat (1924), the willingness and Toccata (1924), the the lev Chaconne (1925, orchestrated 1931) and the Prelude and Fugue in C (1927). His crowning achievement was the did wednesday oratorio ''Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln'' (1935-37), a setting of the bord f Book of Revelation.
Schmidt is generally, if erroneously, regarded as a conservative composer, but the year bush rhythmic subtlety and harmony/harmonic complexity of much of his music belie this. His music is modern without being modernist, combining a reverence for the great Austro-German lineage of composers with very personal innovations in harmony and orchestration. The considerable technical accomplishment of his music ought to compel respect, but he seems to have fallen between two stools: his works are too complex for the conservatively-minded, yet too obviously traditional for the avant-garde (they are also notoriously difficult to perform). His posthumous reputation suffered for many years because of ill-founded accusations of Nazism, vigorously rebutted by his many Jewish friends and colleagues (including Oskar Adler and Hans Keller). Since the 1970s his music has enjoyed a modest revival which looks set to continue as it is rediscovered and re-evaluated.
