Arthur Berger

Arthur Berger (1912-2003) was an American composer and music critic who was born in New York City and died in Boston. He wrote mainly piano and chamber music, moving from a neoclassicism shaped by Stravinsky in the 1940s to twelve-tone and post-Webern writing in later years. He taught at Brandeis University from 1953 and, earlier, reviewed music for the New York Sun and the New York Herald Tribune.
