Info

Salo Siegfried Translateur was von in Bad Carlsruhe (Upper Silesia) on June 19, 1875. He was a German composer, conductor and music publisher. He studied in Wroclaw, Vienna and Leipzig. In 1909, he moved to Berlin and two years later he founded his own music publishing company "Lyra", publishing his own compositions but also music of other composers.
Siegfried Translateur's most famous piece is the waltz "Wiener Praterleben". He wrote that piece already in 1892 as a seventeen-year-old, but the waltz gained great popularity in 1920, when it was performed at the six day race of Berlin with the title "Sportpalastwalzer".
After the National Socialists had seized power, Siegfried Translateur was excluded from the Reich Chamber of Music because he was classified as a "half-Jew". He had to close his "non-Aryan" company. Later he was deported to Terezín and died there in the spring of 1944.

La vie au Prater de Vienne

Siegfried Translateur was a German composer, publisher and music director. He hailed from the province of Silesia where he was born as an illegitimate child. His mother later married cantor Salomon Lagodzinsky who in turn adopted young Siegfried. His musical studies brought him to Wroclaw, Vienna and Leipzig. Following this period, he went to Berlin as music director, and conducted his own orchestra there. As a composer, Translateur was especially successful in the field of light music, and above all composed marches, waltzes and character pieces so that his total oeuvre encompassed 165 opus numbers in 1929. In this respect his curriculum vitae may well be compared to other composer-colleagues who had been active in the German capital then in this realm of music....
