United States, Here I Come!

I am currently at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin and I am the Director of the Master Class. While I was on my vacation in France, someone told me that I should not return to Germany. I quickly rushed to Paris and renewed my membership in the Jewish religion. I soon found out that Germany was not safe because Hitler and Nazis have taken over Germany. In my head, I thought it would be chaos because Hitler and the Nazis do not like Jews. So, my family and I immediately went over to the United States, where we were free of any harm the Nazi regime could do to us. In the United States, I had got my first teaching job in Malkan Conservatory in Boston where I taught music theory. From the east coast, I later moved to the west coast where I settled in Brentwood Park. I was offered jobs at the University of Southern California and the University of Los Angeles. I was very excited to be able to have two job opportunities. However, I had taught only for a while at University of Southern California and went to teach at University of Los Angeles. There I taught my new atonal music and my twelve-tone composition. Also, Leonard Rosenman and George Trembley had studied there while I was teaching. The United States has treated me well, especially Los Angeles where I could spread my knowledge about music to others.

  1. Good luck with your life in America. I hope those americans will enjoy your abstract music more than us Spaniards. Most of us hate your music, I mean that in the nicest way though. Your atonal music is by far the worst example of music I have ever heard of it. I should know I went to the opening of "Rite of Spring".
