Juliusz Wertheim was a Polish composer, pianist, and conductor from the turn of the last century who was close friends with Arthur Rubinstein. His songs are lovely and lilting, accessible for an audience, and definitely should be a part of the standard repertoire!
His music is available online through a website that is working to keep more Polish music available. Because of this, they have made his works downloadable on IMSLP. University of North Texas also has him listed on their Lost Composers page - composers whose music has been lost because of the Holocaust, so research is being done to find more of his works.
With many thanks to Mark Trawka at the Pittsburgh Opera for his help with Polish diction!

What is So Lit Song Lit?
This is So Lit Song Lit, where we reimagine the repertoire by introducing less familiar songs through sound clips and lively discussion! Together we’ll be exploring songs by composers that you may or may not have heard of already, showing how they compare to standard works, and giving you a taste of what they sound like. Join us down the rabbit hole as we expand the song canon!
