Description: | Felix Borowski (March 10, 1872 – September 6, 1956) was a British/American composer and teacher.
He was of Polish descent but was born in the English village of Burton-in-Kendal, Westmorland. His father gave him his first instruction on the piano as well as on the violin . He was educated in London and at the Cologne Conservatory. He then taught the piano and the violin for a while in Aberdeen, Scotland. At this time Borowski had begun to publish smaller compositions for piano and violin. Somewhat later his compositions won strong commendation from composers such as Edvard Grieg, Theodor Leschetizky, Sauer and other renowned masters.
In 1896, Borowski moved to the USA to become Director of the Chicago Musical College. His connection with this musical college continued until 1925 when he resigned to devote himself to private teaching and to composition. During his working life in the U.S.A. he was a composer, teacher, and newspaper critic in Chicago. He was the programme annotator for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1908-1956, and the CSO holds a collection of his original compositions as well as arrangements by him of the works of others.
His most famous composition is "Adoration," originally written for violin and piano. In addition he wrote three large-scale and romantic Sonatas for the organ. His compositions for orchestra include a poem Semiramis and 3 symphonies.
This arrangement was done by the famous American organist, George E. Whiting (1840-1923). I've uploaded some of his works, several of which are dramatic and demanding.
This transcription, published by Theodore Presser in 1907 is no "casual little piece," despite the unassuming title!
You'll find that it will stretch your creativity, registration management, one-foot-trilling, etc.
The hardest thing is to get it sound right...
The score is attached as well as photos of Felix Borowski and George E. Whiting. |
