Кой се ожени Sol Babitz?

Sol Babitz (October 11, 1911 – February 18, 1982) was an American violinist, musicologist, teacher, editor, and writer. A pioneer of historically informed performance, Babitz specialized in researching 17th- and 18th-century Western music practices and was the co-founder of the Early Music Laboratory in Los Angeles. A controversial figure in mid-20th-century music circles, his radical ideas challenging established approaches to Baroque and Classical period music literature; his arrogant and flamboyant personality received mixed and sometimes heated reactions from his contemporaries. Despite his place as a controversial personality, eventually the majority of Babitz's ideas and research into pre-1850 performance practices were accepted as accurate. He was the author of several books and academic papers on historically informed performance, and a longtime editor of the American Federation of Musicians's journal International Musician (1941–1962).

A native of Brooklyn, Babitz was a self-taught musician in his youth who managed to win a gold medal at a music competition held at Carnegie Hall in 1927 while in high school. He completed his high school education in Los Angeles where he began his formal music training with Alexander Roman and gave his first concerts and recitals in the early 1930s. In 1932–1933 he studied at the Berlin University of the Arts and in Paris before returning to Los Angeles to play in the first violin section of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the 1930s. After this he played in studio orchestras for Hollywood films for over two decades. He also served as concertmaster of the Ojai Music Festival from its founding in 1947 and through the 1950s, and was a regular performer in the Evenings on the Roof concert series from 1940 to 1960. In the 1940s he worked closely with Igor Stravinsky as a music editor and arranger, and was one of the composer's closest friends. Stravinsky was the godfather of his daughter, the writer Eve Babitz. His second wife, Eve's mother, was the artist Mae Babitz. Their other daughter was the designer Mirandi Babitz.
