SALO SIEGFRIED TRANSLATEUR

19th June 1875 --- 1st March 1944

Siegfried Translateur  was born  in Upper Silesia,  in the Kingdom of Prussia,  which then was part  of the German Empire,  his interest  in music
began in his chidhood. Later he started his music studies in Vienna, then moved Leipzig, and studied under a French composer Émile Waldteufel
who composed dance music.   Then in 1900 he decided to move to Berlin which he thought would be the best place to go to boost his career,  he
became very popular for his entertainment musical style he obtained the position as principal orchestra conductor and as such he went on to do
international tours with his orchestra and even perform for Emperor Wilhelm II.

In 1911 he founded his own publishing company Lyra music publishing in Berlin. He published mostly his own works but also the works of other
composers like Franz von Blon and Paul Lincke, among others. After his son joined the firm he then renamed his publishing company as the Lyra
Translateur & Co.

His fame and  success was wrecked after  the Nazi party took power in 1933, he was deemed a half-Jew   by the Nuremberg Laws created by the
Nazi party,  and he was forced to close his publishing house Lyra Translateur & Co,  which he sold to the London publisher Bosworth in 1938.  He
was barred  from the Reich Music Chamber,  so he could no  longer composed or published his works. After this period little is  known about him,
only that Translateur, along with his wife, was deported from Berlin to a concentration camp in April 1943. He sadly died there in March of 1944,
at the age of sixty-eight.

Translateur composed around 200 works,  mostly were march's and waltz's,  one of his most popular in the 1920's was Sports Palace Waltz,  you
can still download sheet music of some of his pieces today on the net.
