JÜDISCHE MINIATUREN 131A HANS GÁL ENGLISH E...

The composer and musicologist Hans Gál (1890-1987) was born on 5th August 1890  near Vienna.
From December 1929 until March 1933 he was Director of the Music Conservatoire in Mainz  but
was dismissed from his post after Hitler came to power. He returned to Vienna  but following
the annexation of Austria by the Nazis in 1938 he fled to Britain  where  together with other
refugees  he was interned as an 'enemy alien'. After his release he settled in Edinburgh  where
he remained a much-loved and active composer  teacher  performer and writer. Before 1933 he had
enjoyed considerable success as a composer  particularly with his operas. After the War  his
music became increasingly neglected and forgotten. In recent years  however  his substantial
oeuvre has begun to be rediscovered.
