POLISH COMPOSERKarol Maciej Szymanowski ( 3 October 1882 – 29 March 1937) was a Polish composer and pianist. He was a member of the modernist Young Poland movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century.Szymanowski's early works show the influence of the late Romantic German school as well as the early works of Alexander Scriabin, as exemplified by his Étude Op. 4 No. 3 and his first two symphonies. Later, he developed an impressionistic and partially atonal style, represented by such works as the Third Symphony and his Violin Concerto No. 1. His third period was influenced by the folk music of the Polish Górale people, including the ballet Harnasie, the Fourth Symphony, and his sets of Mazurkas for piano.

The success of the National Gallery concerts made Hess an international star, though she preferred to perform in smaller concert halls. She had a complicated relationship with Judaism; she rejected the Orthodox tradition of her father’s family and was drawn to American Episcopalian teachings, though she never converted for fear of being perceived as a deserter by her fellow Jews. The Honor of Dame of the British Empire was conferred upon Hess in 1941. 88 NOTE Aeolian Hand-Played Rolls Full Scale Themodist rolls produced in London UK by the AEOLIAN COMPANY These quality hand-played rolls had much more information recorded on them than arranged rolls.
