| 545 0# - BIOGRAPHICAL OR HISTORICAL DATA | |
| Biographical or historical data | George Antheil (b. July 8, 1900 in Trenton, New Jersey; d. February 12, 1959 in New York City) was a composer, pianist, author and inventor. He first gained fame and notoriety in the 1920s for his mechanistic compositions. As the self-proclaimed "bad boy of music," he enjoyed an avant-garde reputation and strove to be in the vanguard of artistic development in both his music and writings about music. He composed orchestral works, chamber pieces, ballets, operas, and film and television scores. In later years, Antheil's music evolved from the avant-garde to a more personal idiom that is far less well-known. Böske Antheil was a writer and wife of George Antheil. |

The writings series includes books, articles, essays, dissertations, interviews, and literary musings by or about George Antheil, as well as short stories and a draft of her autobiography by Böske.
