Florence Price, America's 1st black woman composer, died #OTD. But never forgotten.
Her music is often played today. So why isn’t she better known?
"I have two handicaps," she wrote: "I am a woman and I have some Negro blood in my veins."
May she RIP.

If Georges Bizet had written only Carmen, he would still have earned his place in classical music’s Hall of Fame, yet there is much more to this composer who died tragically young.

Despite Furtwängler's attempts to safeguard Jews in the orchestra Szymon Goldberg (born #OTD 1909) was forced out of the Berlin Philharmonic in 1934. So, he toured Europe with the pianist Lili Kraus and made his US debut in NY in 1938 at Carnegie Hall.

But he wasn’t the only one shaping the sound of the Pietà.

Two great composers celebrate their birthdays #OTD, but Brahms and Tchaikovsky had nothing but disdain for each other. And especially their music.
After a couple of drinks together they became fast drinking buddies and agreed to disagree about the music.
