Lists and briefly describes this music collection, amassed by Gottfried Galston, which is now housed in the Special Collections Library of the James D. Hoskins Library building at 15th and Cumberland on the UTK campus.
Gottfried Galston, pianist and teacher, was born in Vienna in 1879, studied with Leschetizky, Jadassohn and Reinecke, performed extensively throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the United States, and Russia from 1900 through 1926. He moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where he taught at the St. Louis Institute of Music until his death in 1950.
The Italian-born pianist, composer, and conductor Ferruccio Benvenuto Busoni was born April 1, 1866. He performed as a child prodigy at the piano beginning at the age of nine. During his career, he not only appeared as a virtuoso at the piano, but conducted orchestral concerts in which he introduced many contemporary compositions. By the 1920s, Busoni was accepted as a composer of merit, having composed a wide range of works for piano, voice, orchestra, organ, chamber ensembles, and operas. |
