He wrote church music in the Romantic style. He was also a writer (including "Versuche über Tonverschmelzung" published in the Zeitschrift für Psychologie, vol. 15, 1897). As a member of the "Graz School" of the Austrian philosopher Alexius Meinong (a student of Brentano) he brought the musical element and respective entries to the so-called Gegenstandstheorie. Among his works exist 11 Latin Masses for mixed choir with organ or orchestral accompaniment (including the first mass in C Major, "Missa in honorem B.M.V.") still occasionally performed today), the third mass in Eb Major, the fourth mass, the fifth mass in F Major, the "Missa Septima" and the eleventh mass), three German masses for mixed choir or male choir a cappella.
