Oscar Levant Introduction Oscar Levant And His Concert Music Select Bibliography Concert Music Catalogue Introduction The strength and beauty of his musical accomplishment has long been overshadowed by his public personna. For Oscar Levant, his own music has been silenced by his presumed character: the acerbic crank on the Jack Paar Show; the Broadway showman and Hollywood star; the author of preposterously acute and funny books; the radio and television ringmaster; the concert pianist and Gershwin specialist. No kaleidoscope could serve these many split images. Two decades after his death, the time has come to re-examine his work as a composer of strong and original music. He was, after all, the beneficiary of a powerful education in classical music and piano technique. He studied composition with Arnold Schoenberg and piano with Zygmunt Stojowski. At the height of his career, he performed under the batons of Toscanini, Beecham, Mitropoulos, Reiner, Monteux, and Ormandy. Oscar Levant And His Concert Music It doesn't help matters that he would not take seriously - at least in the words he used to describe it - his own concert music. Over a decade, he did write string quartets, a woodwind trio, a sinfonietta, and a piano concerto of genuine art and complexity.

Oscar Levant Work Photo From The Columbia Album Set M-508 Who was Oscar Levant ? Besides being one of George Gershwin's (he played Gene Kelly's pianist buddy in the movie version of "American in Paris" and an author. This photograph was scanned from the inside cover of his Columbia album, "Oscar Levant in a Recital of Modern Music," (COL M-508) Oscar Levant was born in Pittsburgh, PA in 1906. In the liner notes for his 1942 album of Rhapsody in Blue, (COL MX-251) he started his auto-biographical sketch by commenting: "I was born, like many other children whose parents happened to live in Pittsburgh, in Pittsburgh, December 27, 1906. It has always been a regret that the event could not have been delayed four days, so that I would have been born in 1907. As it is, I'm reckoned as a nineteen-sixer, and thus thirty-five at the present time, (1942) when I am really only thirty-four." He died in California in 1973. As the title suggests, this album is a collection of a number of lesser-known "modern" (ca late 1930s) musical pieces by such composers as George Gershwin, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel
