<head>Biographical Note</head>
<p>Leo Smit was born to Russian immigrants on January 12, 1921, in Philadelphia. He
received his earliest musical training from his father, Kolman Smit, beginning at
age five. Kolman Smit was a professional violinist who performed in the Philadelphia
Orchestra (1926-1931) under Leopold Stokowski, the Cincinnati Symphony under Fritz
Reiner, and the NBC Symphony under Arturo Toscanini.</p>
<p>After private piano studies with Martha Lantner, Joseph Wissof, and Bert Shefter,
Smit traveled to Moscow with his mother in 1929 to study piano for three months with
Dmitri Kabalevsky on scholarship at the Moscow Conservatory. Upon his return to
Philadelphia, Smit received a scholarship in 1930 to study piano at Curtis Institute
of Music with noted piano pedagogue Isabelle Vengerova. He continued his studies on
scholarship in New York, studying piano with Jos&#xE9; Iturbi (1933-35) and composition
with Nicolas Nabokov (1935). It was under Nabokov's tutelage that Smit produced his
first original composition in 1935, Zvay, a song setting of a Yiddish poem by Mani
Loeb for soprano and piano. </p>
<p>Smit began his professional career as a pianist while still in his teens. His first
professional engagement was as rehearsal pianist for George Balanchine's American
Ballet Company in 1936-37. A year after beginning in this position, Smit met Igor
Stravinsky during rehearsals of the composer's ballet, Jeu de Cartes. Smit gave his
debut recital as a solo pianist at Carnegie Hall in February 1939. His successful
debut was followed by a concert tour of the United States in 1940. </p>
<p>Leo Smit's career as composer, pianist, conductor, and educator spanned seven decades
of musical life in the United States. He established close working relationships,
and/or friendships, with many of the most prominent musicians of the 20th century,
including Igor Stravinsky, B&#xE9;la Bart&#xF3;k, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Harold
Shapero, William Schuman, Alex Haieff, Leopold Stokowski, and Lukas Foss. As a
performer, Smit was an enthusiastic and persuasive advocate and interpreter of the
music of his time, especially the solo piano music of Aaron Copland. His
compositional output totals more than one hundred works, including two operas, three
symphonies, more than ninety songs, two ballets, and numerous chamber and piano
works. </p>
<p>Smit was also a talented photographer. In addition to the many photographs he took of
noted musicians, Smit also used his skill as a photographer to capture images from
his travels. Many of his travel pictures reflect his reverence for nature. As part
of his innovative approach to programming, Smit would often include displays of his
photography in his theme-based concerts. </p>
<p>During his career Leo Smit earned several awards and honors, including Fulbright
(piano) and Guggenheim (composition) Fellowships in 1950, a fellowship at the
American Academy in Rome for 1950-51, the Boston Symphony Merit Award in 1953 for
his Symphony No. 1 (premiered October 16, 1953 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Charles Munch), the New York Critics Circle Award in 1957 (also for his
Symphony No. 1), his selection as an artist for a State Department concert tour of
Latin America in 1967-68, and the Buffalo Evening News Man of the Year award in
1969. As an educator, Smit held positions at Sarah Lawrence College (1947-49), UCLA
(1957-63), and the State University of New York at Buffalo (1962-84). </p>
<p>Leo Smit died December 12, 1999 in Scripps Hospital, Encinitas, California. </p>

<head>Scope and Content Note</head>
<p>This collection of papers was received from Leo Smit in 1998 before he moved from
Buffalo, N.Y. to California. It has been supplemented with more materials by Music
Library staff and Nils Vigeland, executor of the Smit estate. Much of the
supplementary material consists of photocopied materials. The small number of
personal documents include a curriculum vitae dating from 1980 and a works list
compiled by Smit in 1995. Also included are notification of and receipt for an
inheritance from the estate of Aaron Copland. The 21 writings by Leo Smit in the
collection include published articles about Aaron Copland, Johann Sebastian Bach,
and Cole Porter. Also included are unpublished writings, program notes and libretti
for his own works. </p>
<p>The correspondence in the collection consists chiefly (more than 90%) of photocopies
of letters from Aaron Copland to Leo Smit. They reveal the affection Copland held
for Smit and contain details of their many musical collaborations. </p>
<p>Clippings and reviews (27), programs (21), and promotional material (4) provide some
details about Leo Smit's career. Four of Smit's lecture-recitals on American piano
music, the music of Franz Liszt, American songs, and the life and music of Peter
Ilyich Tchaikovsky are documented by compilations of music used for the programs. </p>
<p>The principal collection of Leo Smit materials is held by New York Public Library.
