Dr. Hugh Leichtentritt, noted German authority on music, will join the teaching staff at Harvard for the first half year, and offer several courses open to students in music, it was announced by Professor Edward B. Hill '94, chairman of the Division of Music.
"Music 8" will be the course which Dr. Leichtentritt will give under the Roratio Appleton Lamb Fund, and will deal with the Aims and Methods of Musicology. He will also give several seminary courses for advance students. Schoenburg, the well-known modern German composer, who has had to leave Germany, was also considered for the position, but has taken a place instead at the New England Conservatory.
Dr. Leichtentritt has spent the greater part of his life in Germany teaching composition and musical history in a Berlin conservatory of Music but attended Harvard College, and graduated in 1894.
