Karl, the following comes from a "composer's bio" website:
 
"In 1930, Karg-Elert took part in a Karg-Elert Festival in London, and a year later he was asked to perform in the USA, where he presented more than twenty organ concerts. He was offered the position of organ teacher at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, but due to his failing health, he declined. Diabetes and neuralgia plagued him more and more. He died on September 4, 1933, and was buried in the Leipzig Südfriedhof." 

>>> Karl Moyer     Indeed, might Karg-Elert be buried either in Leipzig or even back at his
home town of Oberndorf?  Is there ANYTHING regarding Karg-Elert to be seen
in Oberndorf?
