He completed his bassoon study in 1867, then for three more years studied harmony and composition with Professor Skuhersky. He played for two years in the Linz (Austria) opera house, after which he returned to Prague to become principal bassoon in several symphony orchestras. He was the teacher for bassoon at the Prague conservatory from 1885 to 1894 and after this date still performed in woodwind quintets for several more years. Ludwig Milde died in 1913 in Bad Nauschein, Germany. It is not exactly known when his "Orchestral Studies" were first edited. The first German edition appeared in 1935.
