About This Item
Paul Juon was in many respects a 'traveler between the worlds.' Not only geographically and culturally between East and West but also musically between Romanticism and Modernism. Perhaps it was Claus-Christian Schuster, the first pianist of Vienna's Altenberg Trio, who most successfully characterized Juon's music, which cannot be assigned to any school or trend, when he wrote 'The shadow of homelessness falls on his works as well as on his life not a Swiss, not a Russian, not a German; not a Romanticist, not a modern composer, not a folklorist - but yet a bit of all of them, and beyond that, in an engaging manner, a sincere and humanly impressive personality.'
