1953044510Wien / Vienna: Universal 1953. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 117 Pp. Softcover Large Format. Inscribed Jan. 3 1954 By Zeisl To His Friend Hugo Apparently A Close Friend Of The Schoenfeld Sisters Violinists. Erich Zeisl 1905 - 1959 Often Spelled Eric Was An Austrian-Born American Composer. Born To A Middle Class Jewish Family In Vienna Zeisl Was The Son Of Kamilla Feitler And Siegmund Zeisl. His Musical Precocity Enabled Him To Gain A Place At The Vienna State Academy Against The Wishes Of His Family When He Was 14 At Which Age His First Song Was Published. While There He Studied With Richard Stöhr Joseph Marx And Hugo Kauder. He Won A State Prize For A Setting Of The Requiem Mass In 1934 But His Jewish Background Made It Difficult To Obtain Work And Publication. After The Anschluss In 1938 He Fled First To Paris Where He Began Work On An Opera Based On Joseph Roth's Job And Then To New York City. Eventually He Went To Hollywood Where He Worked On Film Music But Increasingly Felt Isolated And Ill At Ease With The Production-Line Demands Of His Employers. Among The Films For Which He Wrote Music Were The Postman Always Rings Twice 1946 And Abbott And Costello Meet The Invisible Man 1951. Zeisl's Style Was Essentially Tonal And Conservative Compared To Contemporaries Such As Arnold Schoenberg And Thus Not Totally Unsuited To Film Music Composition. But His Heart Lay Elsewhere. At One Stage He Was Employed To Arrange The Music For A Highly Inaccurate Stage Show About The Life Of Tchaikovsky Song Without Words. His Anguish About His Reduction To Such Work Together With The Straits To Which Other Émigré Composers In America Were Reduced At The Time Is Evident In A Letter Written To A Friend In 1945: 'Even Milhaud Stravinsky Tansman Are Struggling. Béla Bartók Died In New York Of Hunger! . Last Year I Orchestrated A Tchaikowsky Operetta Which Provided A Living For 8 Months But Why Does Tchaikowsky Have To Be Put Into An Operetta . No Composer Is Important Here'. Nonetheless Zeisl Was Able Eventually To Find Academic Appointments And Time To Compose In His Own Style. These Works Included A Variety Of Chamber Music A Piano Concerto A Concerto For Cello Written For Gregor Piatigorsky And A Setting For Choir Soloists And Orchestra Of Psalm 92 In Hebrew Which He Titled Requiem Ebraico Hebrew Requiem Written In 1944-5 In Memory Of His Father. A Work Of Variations For Orchestra Was Based On The Christmas Carol "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear." His Opera Hiob Job Was Never Completed. Zeisl Was Married To Gertrud Susanne Jellinek. His Daughter Barbara Zeisl Schoenberg Married Ronald Schoenberg The Son Of The Composer Arnold Schoenberg. His Grandson Is Lawyer E. Randol Schoenberg. Zeisl's Status As A Proscribed Musician Under The Nazi Regime Has Been One Element In A Revival Of Interest In His Music Some Of Which Is Now Available On Cd. The Premiere Performance Of The Requiem Ebraico Was Held In Los Angeles In The Hollywood First Methodist Church On April 8 1945 By Hugo Strelitzer Conducting The Fairfax Temple Choir. <br/> <br/> Universal paperback
