The
composer Hans Gál was born near Vienna in 1890. Following considerable
success in the 1920s, he was appointed Director of the Conservatory
in Mainz in 1929. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 led to his instant
dismissal and the banning of all his works. He returned to Vienna, but
was again to forced to flee by Hitler's annexation of Austria in 1938.
He emigrated to Britain and settled in Edinburgh, where he remained
active until his death in 1987.
