About this site
A working archive, biographical resource, and performance hub, published by David Waghalter Green, grandson of Ignatz Waghalter.
This site is published by David Waghalter Green, grandson of Ignatz Waghalter. It exists to recover Ignatz Waghalter’s music for performance, scholarship, and general audiences, and to gather, in one place, the documentary record of a life that ran from Warsaw to Berlin, into exile, and on to Harlem.
The intellectual frame for the recovery now underway is set out in the essay Why did Ignatz Waghalter become unknown?, written by the composer’s grandson, David Green.
The site is being rebuilt in 2026. New material — biography, archive, recordings, the autobiography in English and German, and the catalog of works — is being added over the coming weeks.
