BIOGRAPHY
Leo Ornstein was born the son of a Jewish cantor. As a child, Ornstein demonstrated exceptional talent at the piano, and was sent at age ten to the St. Petersburg Conservatory on a recommendation from his uncle, legendary pianist Josef Hofmann. Owing to renewed hostility towards Jews in Russia, Ornstein's family fled to the United States in 1907. In the U.S., Ornstein studied with Bertha Fiering Tapper at the New England Conservatory of Music and Percy Goetschius at the Institute for Music Art in New York City (later Julliard). Ornstein made his debut as pianist in New York in March 1911.
In the 1920s Leo Ornstein was respected as one of the chief talents on the piano recital circuit. In 1923, Ornstein launched his Piano Concerto in Philadelphia under the baton of Leopold Stokowski. That year he also co-founded the League of Composers, going on to serve on its board of directors. By this time, Ornstein began to temper his ultra-modernism with late-Romantic elements, realizing as early as the Sonata for violin and piano (1915) that he'd reached a saturation point with dissonance.
In 1933, at age 41 Leo Ornstein dropped out of the concert circuit. He and Pauline founded the Ornstein School of Music in Philadelphia, which they piloted until Leo retired in 1955. In 1936, the League of Composers commissioned his Nocturne and Dance of the Fates, which were premiered in St. Louis under Vladimir Golschmann. This would be the last honor for Ornstein for some 40 years, as he and his music slipped into total obscurity. The Ornsteins took up residence in a mobile home in Brownsville, TX. Throughout this period, Ornstein continued to compose, oblivious to changing trends in the concert world.
In the 1970s, Ornstein was rediscovered, and in 1975 he was awarded the Marjorie Waite Peabody Award by the American Academy and National Institute of Arts and Letters. Musicologist Vivian Perlis arranged for Ornstein to devote his papers to Yale University. In 1985, Pauline Ornstein died, and the composer relocated to Green Bay, WI. In 1990, Ornstein's son Severo published a 10-volume edition of Ornstein's piano works, oddly coinciding with Ornstein's own final work, the Piano Sonata No. 8. Having outlived most of his contemporaries by a substantial period of time, Leo Ornstein is the only concert musician known to have inhabited the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. Ornstein died on February 24, 2002.

My dad (1917-'03) was shocked when he saw Ornstein's obituary In the New York times, He didn't realize that Leo was still alive in the new century. He studied with him in Philadelphia, Ornstein recommended him for Curtis (conducting '40, accompanying '41). My father credited Pauline with teaching him how to really sight read. He said she would let him see the first measure of a piece, cover it up, and while he was playing it, cover the next measure so he learned how to read a measure ahead of what he was playing. I only found out recently from a camp yearbook that my father accompanied Willie Kapell at camp Tecumseh in 1940. They were good buddies. He spoke of visiting Willie at home, Kapell was excited because he just written, in the line of, I guess, a popular tune. No idea whatever happened to it... 🔵🐸🦖
Fascinating composer! I can only hope to live as long as him!
This is wonderful. I've been a big fan of Leo's for now pushing 10 years and this brings me even more close to him. Very moving about his relationship with his wife. Geniuses like Leo and even like Carlos Kleiber so need someone special like that for grounding. Carlos didn't last long after the death of his wife-Leo did last a lot longer...
BRAVO LEO! Vivirás por siempre! Gracias por tanto!🙏👏👏👏☝🏻
That section at 18:53 is Suicide in an Airplane, not Danse Sauvage. Anyway, this is fascinating! I always wanted to know more about Ornstein, and actually see excerpts of his pieces be played by Hamelin. It's great.
Thanks for the info!
What a gem! Thank you so much for uploading this! This is the first time I've heard Leo's voice. May I know when was this documentary released?
Hello!
The documentary was released in 2007.
Thanks for watching!
Among the students at his school in Philadelphia were the jazz musicians Jimmy Smith and John Coltrane.
Please tell me there's full footage of Hamelin playing Ornsteins work. I'd love to obtain it so that I can study and play his works. Though non essential I believe Hamelin has the greatest technique of any living pianist and video footage of that in invaluable to any pianist, especially in the realm of Ornsteins obscure works and complete lack of footage thereof. Otherwise Ornstein seems like a wonderful person who lived a great life and made historical music, it's a shame that there's such limited interview footage of him but it's infinitely better than the complete lack of it.
Hello @none5020, I do not know if there is any other other video footage of Hamelin playing Ornstein’s works.
I wonder if Ives and Ornstein ever met?
7:55 I feel like she meant American modernism? Because he certainly wasn't the only one at the time.
I will study English more hard and will see this video without subtitle
