SKALKOTTAS, NIKOS (1904 - 1949)
A prolific composer with over 170 works in his catalogue, Nikos Skalkottas has a major place in music history as one of the first Greek composers to adopt the twelve-tone system. He studied in Athens and subsequently in Berlin, where his teachers included Weill and Schoenberg. The rise of Nazism led him to return to Greece in 1933, where the conservative musical climate was hostile towards contemporary music. He made his living as a violinist in the State Orchestra of Athens virtually unknown as a composer. His music is characterised by a highly personal approach to atonality, into which he often incorporated elements of traditional Greek folk music.
