Timeline

1896

Jaromír Weinberger (8 January 1896 – August 8, 1967) was a Bohemian born Jewish subject of the Austrian Empire, who became a naturalized American composer.

Weinberger was born in Prague, Austria-Hungary, into a family of Jewish origin.

He heard Czech folksongs from time spent at his grandparents' farm as a youth.

He started playing the piano aged 5, and composing and conducting aged 10.

He began musical studies with Jaroslav Křička, and later teachers included Václav Talich and Rudolf Karel.

He became a student at the Prague Conservatory at age 14, as a second-year student, where he studied composition with Vítězslav Novák and Karel Hoffmeister.

Later, at Leipzig, he studied with Max Reger, who influenced Weinberger on the use of counterpoint.

1922

In September 1922, Weinberger moved to the United States where he took up a position as an instructor at Cornell University.

Between 1922 and 1926 he was professor of composition at the Ithaca Conservatory (now the music school of Ithaca College), New York.

When he returned to Czechoslovakia he was appointed director of the National Theater in Bratislava, and later received appointments in Eger, Hungary, and Prague.

1926

In 1926 Weinberger completed Schwanda the Bagpiper (Švanda Dudák), which became highly successful, with thousands of performances in hundreds of theatres including the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.

1927

Until recently, the only one which remained even on the fringe of the repertoire was the opera Schwanda the Bagpiper (Švanda dudák), a worldwide success after its première in 1927.

The opera is still performed occasionally, and the Polka and Fugue from it is often heard in a concert version.

1933

His operetta Frühlingsstürme was first performed at the Theatre in Admiralspalast in Berlin on January 19, 1933, with Jarmila Novotná and Richard Tauber in the leading roles.

Mary Losseff took over from Novotná in February, but the show was closed down by the Nazi government in March.

His subsequent European works include the Passacaglia for orchestra and organ, Six Bohemian Dances for violin and piano, the opera The Outcasts of Poker Flat and a grand oratorio Christmas, though none of them matched the success of Schwanda the Bagpiper.

1939

In 1939, after extensive travels to the United States, Bratislava and Vienna, he left Czechoslovakia to escape the Nazis and settled in New York state, teaching there and in Ohio.

He wrote a number of works on commission from American orchestras.

1948

He became an American citizen in 1948.

1949

In January 1949, Weinberger moved to St. Petersburg, Florida.

In later life, he developed cancer of the brain.

1967

This, together with money worries and the neglect of his music, prompted him to take a lethal sedative overdose in August 1967.

1968

His wife, Jane Lemberger Weinberger (also known as Hansi), died on July 31, 1968.

2000

The artists of the Walt Disney studio considered making it into a segment for Fantasia 2000, but instead chose Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F major, in the form of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Steadfast Tin Soldier".

2004

In 2004 Czech pianist Tomáš Víšek and cellist František Brikcius organized a tour celebrating Weinberger's work.

Weinberger composed over 100 works, including operas, operettas, choral works, and works for orchestra.

2019

Recent revivals of Frühlingsstürme (2019, Berlin Komische Oper and DVD/Blu-ray) and Wallenstein (2012, Wiener Konzerthaus and CD) indicate a renewed interest in his distinctive work.

Weinberger used a varied musical language.

His studies in Prague and Leipzig stressed formal control and contrapuntal mastery; following the example of his teachers, Křička, Novák and Reger, Weinberger's works exhibit control, but are also playful.

This combination received both praise and criticism.
