In the late 1930s, due to his Jewish origin, he was forced to flee with his mother to Italy , and in 1939 to the USA [4] . He taught at Rutgers University and at the Eastman School of Music . Best known for his comprehensive study of the work of the Austrian composer and theorist Johann Joseph Fuchs , he also made a significant contribution to the study of Handel's little-known works.
