The
Austro-Hungarian composer
Erwin Schulhoff
(1894-1942) was musically
precocious: At the
suggestion of AntonÃn
Dvorák, he
receivedpiano lessons at
the age of seven, and at
the age of ten became a
student at the Prague
Conservatory. Further
piano studies in Vienna,
Cologne and Leipzig as
well as composition
lessons with Max Reger
supplemented his
education. His Jewish
heritage, which defamed
his music as
“degenerateâ€,
and his sympathy for
communism, however, cost
him his life. In Prague
and finally interned in
Wülzburg near
Weissenburg in Bavaria,
he died of tuberculosis.
Schulhoff's musical
significance lies in the
integration of jazz into
art music, for example in
his oratorio H.M.S. Royal
Oak or in his Hot Sonata
for alto saxophone and
piano. He earned his
living as a jazz pianist
for a long time. In
August 1922 he wrote four
short piano pieces, his
Rag Music, to which he
added four more phrases
in November: released as
Partita, also known as
Jazz-like Partita - with
the fashion dances
Ragtime, Foxtrott,
Shimmy, Boston and - as
No. 7 - a tango. From a
piano to a string quartet
movement, the arrangement
presents itself as a
delicate and smart,
technically not too
difficult sweet, suitable
as a diversion or
addition in a quartet
program.
