by EMIL TELMANYI
Emil Telmanyi was born in 1892 in Hungary. Although he showed extraordinary musical gifts at an early age, he was not exploited as a prodigy, but was sent to the Royal Academy of Music at Budapest to receive an all-round musical education, which, although he was a violinist, included such subjects as composition, con- j ducting, and piano. In 1911 Telmanyi took his degree as virtuoso, composer, and teacher. In the same year he made his debut in Berlin with the Philharmonic Orchestra, on which occasion he gave the first performance in Germany of Elgar's Violin Concerto.
As a violinist he has appeared with most of the finest conductors in Europe, and since 1919, when he made his debut as a conductor in Copenhagen, he has conducted many of the leading orchestras in Europe.

Milhaud's Suite of Dances entitled 'Saudades do Brazil' (the literal translation is 'Salutations from Brazil') was originally composed for piano solo, and later orchestrated by the composer. The titles appended to each dance are for the most part the names of localities in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, where Milhaud went in 1917 as Secretary to Paul Claudel, then French Ambassador to Brazil. The dances are without exception written in two-four time, in characteristic tango rhythm, and are remarkable for the acid quality of the harmonies and a certain harshness arising from the polytonal character of the writing - a favourite device of the composer's and nowhere more strikingly exemplified than in the present Suite. The melodies are, however, not without a certain haunting charm.
