# Wilhelm Petersen (composer)

Wilhelm Petersen (15 March 1890 – 18 December 1957) was a German composer and conductor. His body of work includes, among other things, five major symphonies, a piano concerto, a violin concerto, an opera Der goldene Topf (premiered in Darmstadt 1941), and a mass, as well as numerous choral and chamber music pieces, along with songs. Petersen's works are stylistically positioned at the vague boundary between late Romanticism and Modernism and are mostly composed in his own distinctive tonal language.
He was born in Athens and spent his childhood in Darmstadt. From 1908 to 1913 he studied in Munich with Friedrich Klose, Felix Mottl and Rudolf Louis. In addition to music he wrote lyric and dramatic poetry and was on the fringes of the circle around Stefan George. Petersen was an apprentice conductor in Lübeck under Wilhelm Furtwängler in 1913-14; at the end of the First World War he was active as a writer in the Expressionist movement in Munich but from 1919 devoted himself entirely to music. His early music is described as radically Expressionistic, but in the 1920s he progressively clarified his style, arriving at a monumental tonal style typified by his Grosse Messe, op. 27 of 1928-29, premiered in 1930 in Darmstadt under Karl Böhm. From 1927 he was a lecturer in the Music Academy at Darmstadt, and in 1934 became professor of music in Mannheim. He died in Darmstadt.

# Pedro Paulo Bruno

Pedro Paulo Bruno (October 14, 1888 – February 2, 1949) was a Brazilian painter, singer, poet, and landscaper of Italian origin. His best known work is the 1918 painting A Pátria (Fatherland), which depicts the Brazilian flag being embroidered by a family.

## Biography

Pedro Paulo Bruno was born on October 14, 1888, at his family home on the Paquetá Island. His father was the Italian merchant Felice Antonio Bruno, which had emigrated to Brazil with his young wife Magdalena Marmo Bruno in 1878, along with their three children (Rosa, Antero, and Miguel). Originally from Casalbuono, in the province of Salerno, they settled in the island of Paquetá, in a house at 105 Praia da Guarda.
At age 7, Bruno made his first sketches, and at 9 was already recognized in Paquetá as a promising painter. At that time, upon the death of a child whose parents wanted to have his portrait, Bruno was hastily summoned and right there at the funeral, although a little scared, drew the picture. In 1897, when painter Giovanni Battista Castagneto, also of Italian origin, was visiting Paquetá, Bruno immediately became friends with him, offering to carry his easel, palette and brushes for the different parts of the island that the artist was portraying. The boy spent hours watching closely the work of the master and became a dedicated disciple.
Bruno was also a talented singer, with a baritone voice. In 1905, at age 14, he embarked to Italy to study at the Conservatories of Naples and of Rome, from where he returned graduated in bel canto. He worked at the Conservatory of Rio de Janeiro, and, under the direction of maestro De Lucio, toured to Belo Horizonte, São Paulo and Santos.
