New Music Quarterly October 1946
Stefan Wolpe
Passacaglia For Piano Solo (4th one of Four Studies on Basic Rows)


Stefan Wolpe (August 25, 1902 - April 4, 1972) was a German-born composer. Forced to flee Nazi Germany, he finally settled in New York City in 1938.

His works employ a variety of approaches, including twelve tone technique, Arabic scales and other methods of tonal organisation he encountered on his travles in the middle east. His work was modernist, but avoided the punctualism of composers such as Pierre Boulez (in his works from 1951–53), instead employing more conventionally expressive gestures. His students included Morton Feldman, Ralph Shapey, David Tudor, and Charles Wuorinen.

Wolpe developed Parkinson's disease in 1964 and died in New York City in 1972. Elliott Carter commemorated Wolpe: "Comet-like radiance, conviction, fervent intensity, penetrating thought on many levels of seriousness and humor, combined with breathtaking adventurousness and originality, marked the inner and outer life of Stefan Wolpe, as they do his compositions."

An incredible performance of it by M.A Hamelin (I'm in utter awe that this can be 'memorized' more so that this can be performed to this level )

I could not find anything indicating the New Music version is in print or commercially available (no mention in the version posted of the TP company i.e. this new critical edition is the one I believe to be currently in print and is not the same edition I posted http://www.presser.com/marketing/newiss ... c_Rows.pdf)

Much to my surprise, I've just discovered that one of Karg-Elert's (slightly) better known pieces, the most attractive Arabeske 'Filigran', is not on IMSLP, neither has it been posted here. To remedy this I attach a scan! It's a favourite encore of Piers Lane. Mike

Can someone, anyone, help me identify the attached piano solo? It is my scan of an autograph score datelined Berlin 1913. The score was given to me by a musician friend in Mexico. It is called "Legende." I can't make out the name of the composer.

Hello Dannen,

on the right upper corner there is written the sign of Willi August Lautenschläger (German composer, 27.02.1880 Bonn, Germany - 22.12.1949 Bad Imnau, Germany). One of his Pseudonyms was José Armándola (other Edwin Haller, A. Nippon, Udo Türmer und James Wanson). Perhaps this is the answer you are looking for? This Legend was dated on 4.11.1903, the time he spent in Berlin as a composer of piano and film music and pianist.

Best regards, Georgio

Thanks, Georgio!
