Emmerich Kalman - His Music and Life
Born on October 24, 1882 in Siofok/Hungary, Emmerich Kalman passed away in Paris/France on October 30, 1953.
Kalman wanted to become a pianist, but unfortunately a hand's muscle paralysis let htis dream never become true.
Kalman decided to study law - and later music. He became a music reviewer and critic and wrote for several publications.
In 1907, Kalman received the trophy of Budapest for outstanding serious classical compositions. In 1908, his operetta "Autumn Manuever" (Herstmanoever) had its glorious premiere. Several operetta highlights followed: "The Csardas Princess" (1905), "The Dutch Little Woman" (1920), "Countess Marissa" (1924) and "The Circus Princess" (1926).
Kalman's Hungarian operettas remained as his greatest success. Hungarian ideology and identify glittered, shined and have been reflected in his compositions. The rhythmical melodies gave "terrible fresh blood" to the at that time tiring European operetta scene.
