CECILIA HANSEN [violinist]. Kamenskaya, Russia, 1897-London, 1989. Of Danish
descent, Hansen first studied violin with her
musician father and then, at the age of ten, with
Leopold
Auer
at
the
St.
Petersburg
Conservatory, with whom she remained until
1914. She was greatly admired by her fellow
students, Jascha Heifetz and Nathan Milstein,
and Heifetz was supposedly in love with her. Her
career was delayed by the outbreak of World
269
CECILIA HANSEN
War I. In 1916 she wed pianist Boris Zakharoff, who accompanied her only recordings, made for
Victor in 1924-25. She appeared as a successful concert artist in Europe and Scandanavia but left
Russia in 1921 because of the Revolution. She toured the U.S. in 1923-24. During a tour of the far
East in 1928, her husband decided to remain in Shanghai as a teacher. The fact that she
remained with him as long as she did would seem surprising, as he was considered, according to
one source, to be “an uncontrolled, self-centered artist”. In the 1930s she married Hermann
Friedmann, a Jewish lawyer, philosopher and polymath and lived in London, playing there during
and after the War. One of her two daughters was killed during a 1940 German bombing raid on
London. In 1950, her husband accepted a Professorship at the University of Heidelberg, where she
joined him, teaching at the Heidelberg Conservatory until shortly before her death, when she
returned to London to live with her surviving daughter.

Edinboro, 1847 – 1935. Mackenzie was a Scottish composer, conductor and teacher, best
known for his oratorios, violin and piano pieces, arrangements of Scottish folk music and stage
works. He was educated in Germany. Eventually he produced over 90 compositions, but from
1888 to 1924 he devoted much of his energy to running the Royal Academy of Music. Together
with Hubert Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford, he was regarded as one of the fathers of the
British musical renaissance of the late nineteenth century - Wikopedia

MAURICE
MARÉCHAL [cellist]. Dijon, 1892-Dijon, 1964.
Beginning studies in Dijon
around the age of seven, he was accepted in the Paris Conservatoire when thirteen and graduated
in 1911, winning first prize in cello. He had to serve in the military in 1912 and as a result of the
First World War, beginning in 1914, remained in the army until released in 1919. In 1920 he wed
an American actress and began a career for which he is remembered as being perhaps the
foremost French cellist of his generation. His repertoire included much music of contemporary
French composers as well as the more familiar cello repertoire. During World War II he supported
the Resistance in France, seldom playing the cello. In attempting to continue his career after the
War he became afflicted by a progressive muscular disease in his bowing arm. He continued
teaching until his death but had to retire from performing in 1950.

LEO ORNSTEIN [pianist, composer]. Kremenchuk, Ukraine, 1892-Green Bay, WI,
2002]. Only the roughest sketch can be provided
here of this remarkable musician, who emigrated
to the U.S. in 1907. He had been recommended
by Joseph Hofmann in 1902 to the St. Petersburg
Conservatory, where he studied with Alexander
Glazounov. The family then fled Russia in 1907,
and Leo continued his studies in New York. He
made his recital debut in 1911 in conventional
repertoire, but soon he was “dazzling New York
audiences” with works of Schoenberg, Debussy,
Ravel, Bartok and Scriabin. Soon his own music
was also added to his repertoire, and he became
one of the most discussed “American” composers
of the 1910-25 period, known as the “enfant
terrible” of modern music. In the later ‘20s he lost
interest in keyboard performing and gave his last
public appearance as a pianist around 1933. He
continued composing and teaching but had little
enthusiasm for publicizing his compositions (in
this respect somewhat reminiscent of Charles
Ives). He was rediscovered in the 1970s, and a
number of LP records were then made of his
music. His final work was his 8th Piano Sonata,
written at the age of 97. Readers are referred to
the Internet, where much information is available
on Ornstein as well as recordings of his music (by
others). There are only two issued discs of his
playing, these recorded by Columbia on 10 May
1913. Through the kind services of his son, Severo, Leo Ornstein signed these for me, albeit in a
somewhat shaky hand, as he was 105 at the time (1998) and living in a nursing home.

FLORIZEL [VON] REUTER [violinist]. Davenport, Iowa, 1890-Waukesha, Wisconsin,
1985. A child prodigy, Reuter went on to become a noted adult soloist and teacher, and a
composer as well. In 1899 he began studies in Europe with Emile Sauret, Cesar Thompson and
Henri Marteau and graduated from the Geneva Conservatory in 1901. He toured internationally
and spent most of his time in Germany into the late 1940s, then returning to the U.S. (he had
retained his citizenship even during W.W. II), where he taught in Waukesha into the early 1980s
and served as concertmaster of the Waukesha Symphony. Through his mother and her supposed
psychic powers, he became involved in channeling musicians of the past and writing on these
experiences. He also wrote several books, including a novel entitled The Twilight of the Gods on
Hitler’s Berlin “by one who was there.”

ANGEL REYES (CAMAJO) [conductor] dir. 13th SOUND ENSEMBLE OF HAVANA
Reyes (1889-c.1941) was particularly interested in sonic experimentation. The name of the
ensemble comes from composer Julian Carrillo’s system of dividing the octave beyond the normal
12 half-steps into quarter, eighth and sixteenth tones. The selection below is scored for wordless
soprano (Luis M. de Berumen) and instruments (including the relatively exotic harp-zither and
octavina). The recording was made in 1930. –Internet sources

MAX ROSEN (ROSENZWEIG) [violinist]. Rumania, 1900-New York City, 1956.
The
family emigrated to New York City’s lower East Side when Rosen was less than a year old. His
father worked there as a barber. Violin studies with David Mannes began, and by the age of 12
Rosen was so astounding a player that banker Edward de Coppet paid for him, accompanied by
his father, to study in Dresden with Leopold Auer. He concertized throughout Germany and
returned to the U.S. to make his debut at Carnegie Hall in 1918 with the New York Philharmonic.
He subsequently performed throughout the U.S. in concert and with orchestra, large and small,
until retiring to teach several years before his death.

Olga Agnes Hickenlooper, Samaroff began at the age of three improvising melodies at the
keyboard. She studied at the Paris Conservatoire and then in Berlin. Her American debut was in
Carnegie Hall, 1905, with the New York Symphony directed by Walter Damrosch. She then toured
internationally, her name changed to Samaroff, a distant Russian relative, at the suggestion of her
manager. After damage to her left arm, Samaroff’s career was seriously curtailed. She then became
a music critic for the NY Post. In 1927, preferring a more active musical life, Samaroff began
teaching at the Juilliard Graduate School while becoming head of the piano department of the
Philadelphia Conservatory. Her second husband was conductor Leopold Stokowski. Among her
pupils were William Kapell, Rosalyn Tureck, Eugene List, Raymond Lewenthal and Alexis
Weissenberg.

Camp (Bavaria), 1942. As a child, Schulhoff (born Ervín Gustavovi ) was encouraged by
Dvo ák and studied piano and composition at the Prague Conservatory. He became a leading
musical figure in Germany and Czechoslovakia in the 1920s. His varied modernistic compositional
approaches and his eventual Communistic leanings, in addition to his Jewish heritage, didn’t
endear him to the Third Reich, and his music was labeled “degenerate” and was prohibited in
Germany from 1933. Needless to say his records were quickly removed from publication. Schulhoff
escaped to Czechoslovakia, where he barely survived as a radio station pianist. In 1939 he was
sent to a concentration camp by the occupying Germans and died there in 1942.

Dame ETHEL SMYTH [composer/conductor]. London, 1858-Woking, 1944.
Smyth,
the fourth of eight children, was not encouraged by her family along a musical path, but they did
provide the means. She first was taught privately in
London by Alexander Ewing. She subsequently studied at
the Leipzig Conservatory for a year and then with Heinrich
von Herzogenberg. Among her early musical successes
was the opera Der Wald, performed in 1903 at the Met,
where it remains as the first and only opera by a woman
composer presented there. A later opera, The Wreckers,
was considered her most effective stage work. Its premiere
was in Leipzig, 1906, in German, and in 1909 under
Beecham in England. Sporadic staged and concert
performances have been given subsequently, including the
American concert premiere in 2007 in New York. Smyth’s
composing diminished with her loss of hearing, first noted
in 1913, and then she developed an interest in writing,
publishing ten books between 1919 and 1940. She was
also a strong advocate of women’s sufferage and was even
jailed for two months, as a member of the Women’s Social
and Political Union, for breaking windows of politicians
who opposed women voting. “Smyth had several
passionate affairs in her life, most of them with women”.

Adrian Boult. Internet sources

Warren
had an abiding musical interest and manifested talent from her earliest years. She studied piano
beginning at five with Olga Steeb and began theory and composition studies at the age of 14 with
Gertrude Ross, alhough she had begun composing a decade earlier. By 18 she was a published
composer (G. Schirmer). After a year at Mills College and piano master classes with Leopold
Godowsky and Harold Bauer, she moved to New York and studied with Frank LaForge, Paul
Gallico and Clarence Dickinson. She accompanied a number of artists, including Margarete
Matzenauer (at a Carnegie Hall Concert and tour, 1921), Richard Crooks, Lawrence Tibbett,
Lucrezia Bori and Florence Easton. Her songs were also featured on the concerts of these and
other important singers. She evolved into being one of the leading women composers of her time.
Several of her large scale works, in a neo-Romantic style, were performed by major orchestras and
in important music festivals. She continued her musical studies for many years, including a
period with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, 1959. She made a few rare recordings for Okeh around
1922. In a revival of interest in her music, CD recordings of some of her works have appeared
fairly recently featuring Thomas Hampson and other important artists.

PAUL WITTGENSTEIN [pianist]. Austria, 1887-1961.
Wittgenstein was born in Vienna,
the son of the industrialist Karl Wittgenstein. The household was frequently visited by prominent
cultural figures, among them the composers Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler, Josef Labor, and
Richard Strauss, with whom the young Paul played duets. His grandmother, Fanny Wittgenstein,
was a first cousin of the violinist Joseph Joachim, whom she adopted and took to Leipzig to study
with Felix Mendelssohn. Less than a year after he made his concert debut in 1913, Wittgenstein

was in the military and leading a patrol in Poland
when a sniper’s bullet shattered his right arm. He
was taken prisoner by the Russians, and in a
primitive field hospital his wounded right arm was
amputated. Returning to Austria late in 1915 via a
prisoner exchange program, he continued in the
military by serving as a general’s aide on the Italian
front until the end of World War I. Through remarkable determination, Wittgenstein subsequently resumed his career, commissioning works for left
hand alone by a host of composers including Ravel,
Hindemith and Prokofiev – Internet sources
