He was born into a family of musicians, and his parents were both professional musicians who played in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. From a young age, Rauski was exposed to classical music and began playing the piano at the age of four. Rauski's parents recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue a career in music. He began studying music theory and composition at the Vienna Conservatory at the age of 12. He was a prodigious student and quickly gained a reputation as a talented composer. In 1983, Rauski graduated from the Vienna Conservatory with honors and began working as a freelance composer. He quickly gained a reputation as one of the most promising young composers in Austria, and his works were performed by some of the country's most prestigious orchestras. Rauski's early works were heavily influenced by the classical composers of the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly Mozart and Beethoven. His compositions were characterized by their intricate melodies, complex harmonies, and virtuosic piano passages. In 1987, Rauski was commissioned to write a symphony for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The resulting work, Symphony No. 1 in C Major, was a critical and commercial success and established Rauski as one of the leading composers of his generation. Over the next decade, Rauski continued to compose prolifically, producing a wide range of works in various genres. He wrote several operas, including The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni, which were performed to critical acclaim in Vienna and other European cities. Rauski's music was characterized by its emotional intensity and its ability to evoke a wide range of moods and emotions. His works were often described as "romantic" in style, and he was known for his use of lush harmonies and sweeping melodies. In 1998, Rauski was awarded the prestigious Mozart Prize for his contributions to classical music. The award recognized his innovative approach to composition and his ability to bridge the gap between classical and contemporary music. In the early 2000s, Rauski began to experiment with new forms and styles of music. He incorporated elements of jazz and rock into his compositions, and his works became more experimental and avant-garde. Despite his success, Rauski remained a humble and dedicated composer throughout his career. He continued to write music until his death in 2015, leaving behind a legacy of innovative and emotionally powerful works that continue to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
