Literature
Later in his life, he travelled to the Orient. In 1878 Josef founded, along with his brother Johann Schrammel and a guitarist, a trio; the following year Anton Strohmayer replaced the first guitarist. This eventually, with the addition of clarinetist Georg Dänzer, became the famous Schrammel Quartet. His grave is located in Hernals in Vienna.
