Kramer received his B.A. magna cum laude from Harvard University (1965) and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Music from the University of California, Berkeley (1967 and 1969). His composition teachers included Karlheinz Stockhausen, Roger Sessions, Leon Kirchner, Seymour Shifrin, Andrew Imbrie, Richard Felciano, Jean-Claude Éloy, Billy Jim Layton, Edwin Dugger, and Arnold Franchetti. He studied theory with David Lewin, criticism with Joseph Kerman, and computer music with John Chowning.
Kramer was Professor of Composition and Theory at Columbia University from 1988 until his death in 2004. He also taught at the Oberlin Conservatory, Yale University, and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. He held visiting appointments at Wesleyan University, King's College of the University of London, the Canberra School of Music, the University of Western Australia, the Rockefeller Study Center in Bellagio (Italy), the Center for New Music and Technology (Berkeley), May in Miami, the ISCM Summer Workshop for Composers (Poland), and the European Mozart Academy (Poland). He served four years as Program Annotator of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, was Annotator of the Cincinnati Symphony since 1980, and a collection of his program notes, Listen to the Music, was published by Schirmer Books. He was the Cincinnati Symphony's Composer-in-Residence and New-Music Advisor from 1984 to 1992 and served as artist in residence of The Moebius Ensemble since 1997. He produced and hosted several local and national radio programs and represented American Public Radio three times at the International Rostrum of Composers in Paris.
His notable students include Robert Carl.
Active as a music theorist, Kramer published primarily on theories of musical time and postmodernism. At the time of his death he had just completed a book on postmodern music and a cello composition for the American Holocaust Museum.
Two funds were named in honor of Kramer upon his death: The Jonathan D. Kramer Memorial Fund for Young Composers, and The Jonathan D. Kramer Legacy Fund.

Didn't realized how much sad this scene is with John shedding sympathetic tears of horror. The man's literally on his death bed witnessing how broken his apprentice and a person he cares about is overall. I'll cry too, but that's just me.

I feel that tho 😔🕊

That’s pretty much what is deep and interesting about Jigsaw. Despite what he puts people through, he doesn’t take pleasure in pain or death. Most of his traps and tests are meant to enlighten people how valuable any life is and that we shouldn’t take it for granted. That’s pretty much why this happened to both Amanda Young and Mark Hoffman because instead of giving people a second chance at life they decided to play executioner.

@Cody Flake I wouldn’t say “any life” half his traps involve killing someone’s else to save your own ass weird way to enlighten people on the value of life but then again jigsaw was always a hypocrite

I feel like being framed and thrown in jail broke her spirit and she just didn’t know how to move on. She became the very person she was painted as and didn’t want to be. She said “he took my life from me”. She was spiteful, vengeful and even when she got her revenge, it didn’t make her feel any better.

I felt so good after what has happened to her...she thought she could kill anybody but didn't realise that there's always one who could defeat you and at the end she got the taste of her own medicine
