Wolpe Centennial essays.(Brief Article)
INTRODUCTION
2002 MARKS THE CENTENNIAL of the birth of Stefan Wolpe (1902-1972), who came of age as a composer and pianist in Germany during the 192 Os, influenced by the New Classicality of Busoni, the left-wing modernism of the Melos Circle, the Dadas, the artistic practice and ethos of the Bauhaus, the twelve-tone concepts of Hauer and Schoenberg, and the popular music of the Berlin Cabaret. A political refugee from 1933, he traveled to Vienna where he studied briefly with Webern. He then spent several years in Palestine before emigrating to the United States, where he became an influential composer and teacher. In 1956 he began a series of annual visits to Darmstadt, where he transmitted American new music to Europe and in turn was influenced by current post-Weberian developments.
