Abstract:
In his youth, the Austrian composer Hans Gál (1890-1987) worked as a Brahms scholar, wrote, among other things, the famous 'Instructions on Reading Scores', taught composition and became the director of the Music Academy in Mainz in 1929. In 1933, he had to emigrate with his family to Austria and then to Great Britain in 1938, was interned as an enemy alien and later became a lecturer for music at Edinburgh University. The CD produced in conjunction with the co-ordination office 'exil.arte' (which seeks to recover the works of expelled and murdered composers from oblivion) presents examples of his wonderful chamber music: Three Sketches for Piano, Three Intermezzi for Flute and Piano, the Sonata for Two Violins and Piano and the 'Huyton Suite' for Flute and Two Violins.
