作曲家阿隆‧科普蘭 (Aaron Copland) 出生在紐約布魯克林區
19001114

科普蘭上公立高中的時候,他的姊姊教他彈鋼琴。後來他開始透過函授學習和聲,這是成為作曲家的第一步。 

1921年的夏天,科普蘭進入法國一所為了美籍人士設立的學校就讀,在那裡他遇到了一位聰明的老師娜蒂亞‧布蘭格 (Nadia Boulanger) ,並且受到很深的影響。在巴黎住了三年之後, 科普蘭回到紐約,為他的老師譜了一曲管風琴交響樂,並在紐約卡內基音樂廳的表演。這也開始了他作曲的生涯。


An older sister taught Copland how to play the piano while he attended public high school. Then, as a first step to becoming a conductor, he tried to learn harmony through a correspondence course.

In the summer of 1921, Copland attended a newly founded school for Americans in France, where he came under the influence of a brilliant teacher, Nadia Boulanger. After three years in Paris, Copland returned to New York, composing an organ symphony for his teacher to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York. His career had begun.
