Full biography Frederic Rzewski

photo Frederic Rzewski

Frederic Rzewski was an American composer and pianist known for his politically charged compositions and performances. He was born on April 13, 1938, in Westfield, Massachusetts. Rzewski studied at Harvard University before moving to Italy to study with Luigi Dallapiccola and later with Elliott Carter in the United States.

Throughout his career, Rzewski composed works that were inspired by political events, including his famous composition "The People United Will Never Be Defeated!" which was written in support of the Chilean socialist movement. His works often featured repetition and dissonance, and reflected his belief in the power of music to effect social change.

In addition to his career as a composer, Rzewski was also a talented pianist. He performed extensively throughout the world, often premiering his own compositions.

Rzewski died on June 26, 2021, at the age of 83. His legacy continues to inspire new generations of composers and musicians, as his music remains relevant and thought-provoking to this day.
