Autographed 2” x 4” autographed photograph of the composer-pianist in his garden in Paris, along with the original autographed transmittal envelope dated 1961. Tansman, a Pole and Jewish, studied at the Lodz Conservatory as well as Warsaw University and left Poland for France in 1919 after he finished his law degree. He first appeared there in concert playing his own works. By 1927, he was hired for his U.S. debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, continuing the tour throughout North America and Europe. While on a tour of the Far East in the early 1930’s, he got the conductor bug and began conducting concerts as well. He left Europe in 1940 and came to the United States, where he became part of the Hollywood brain trust of European composers, working on films, as well as his own compositions. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 1946 for his score of “Paris Underground” one of six film scores he wrote during his time in California. Tansman also composed 9 symphonies, 2 piano concerti, a violin concerto, a cello concerto, as well as numerous works for orchestra and mixed chamber ensembles and solo works. |
