Samuel L.M. Barlow

Barlow studied in Harvard University, aswell much like Philipp in Paris and Respighi in Rome. For 30 years he proved helpful to market music in civic and professional groupings in NY. He was the soloist for the premiere of his very own Piano Concerto (1931). He was the initial American with an opera created on the Opéra-Comique in Paris (Mon ami Pierrot, 1935). Barlow was keen on experimenting with brand-new performance techniques like the use of glide projections with Babar (1936), a symphonic concerto. Despite such innovative strategies, Barlow’s works are usually conventional and in his very own words and phrases, contain “music that wouldn’t surprise Papa Brahms.”
