Walter E. Aschaffenburg (1927–2006) was a German-born American composer, who for most of his career taught composition at Oberlin Conservatory of Music. One commentator noted that he "employed the 12-tone system in some of his works, his scores are often embued with a meticulous expressivity." He regarded his greatest work as Bartleby, an opera with a libretto by Jay Leyda, based on the Herman Melville story, Bartleby, and premiered by Oberlin Music Theatre in 1964. In 1987, he married the pianist and music performance professor Rayna Barrol (1930–2016).
