After
completing his studies
with Zoltan Kodaly, the
Hungarian composer
Mathias Seiber
(1905-1960) first worked
as a musician in a dance
orchestra on an ocean
liner which gave him the
opportunity to listen to
jazz music in New York.
From 1928 he taught the
first jazz class
worldwide at Dr. Koch's
Conservatoire in
Frankfurt. In the winter
term of 1928/29, 19
students had registered
with whom he gave a
public concert on 3 March
1929 which was broadcast
by Radio Frankfurt. After
the Nazis had seized
power, the jazz class was
dissolved, Seiber lost
his job and emigrated to
London.In 1932 he wrote
his piano cycle 'Leichte
Tanze' (Easy Dances), one
of the early examples of
the adoption of jazz
forms and styles in
so-called serious music.
The present arrangement
for orchestra is easily
playable and is aimed at
youth and amateur
orchestras.
