During his life-time, his work was displayed in exhibitions throughout the United States as well as in Europe. Leventon’s photos were frequently Sergei Rachmaninoff encountered in the leading photographic journals of his time, including American Photography, Camera Craft, and Photo Era. Alexander Leventon was born on November 11, 1895, in Rostov-on-Don in Russia. He studied music and law in Moscow, later going to Vienna to continue his musical training as a violinist.

In 1923 he came to Rochester to become concertmaster of the Eastman Theatre Orchestra and second concertmaster of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.

    Hollywood Quartet Flourished Briefly During the Early Years of the Long-Playing Record

    Hollywood Quartet flourished briefly during the early years of the long-playing record. Its leader, Felix Slatkin (father of the conductor, Leonard Slatkin) was a pupil o f Zimbalist and Remer, and in 1937 became leader of the 20th Century Fox Orchestra. All the members of the Quartet were principals in various Hollywood film studio orchestras, and the ensemble did not attract attention outside the West Coast of America until the advent of LP. On its first appearance in 1952, the authors of The Record Guide, Edward Sackville-\'{/est and Desmond Shawe-Taylor, hailed the Schubert String Quintet (with Kurt Reher as second cello) as 11 one of the very best in the di scography of chamber music'', no small claim but one that does not seem to me overstated. I have periodically played this version over the years and with unfailing satisfaction for apart from their tec hnical finish and perfect ensemble, they seem to penetrate further below the surface than do most of their rival s. I have also long admired their account with Victor Aller of the Brahms F minor Quintet, which it so happens that l played to a visitor quite recently. It is a powerful and thoughtful performance, and holds its own against such distinguished rivals as Serkin with the Busch Quartet from the 1930s, and the 1969 Eschenbach/ Amadeus. The Dvorak originally appeared in harness with rhe Third Quarret of Dohn:inyi, and my first reaction was to regret that EMI had not left thi s coupling undisturbed - until, that is, I heard the Smetana.

For this thesis 69 recordings, drawn from four musical fragments, and 9440 ratings of their performance properties were examined. Audio features measuring tempo, loudness and timbre were extracted and dierent regression methods compared. The resulting models were evaluated using Monte-carlo-cross-validation. Multiple mixed model analyses on the eects of composition and the raters were conducted.
