I don't know, but he did write this note to his mother at age 9, "I was meant to be a composer and will be I'm sure...Don't ask me to try to forget this unpleasant hing and go play football--please."
Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings
Samuel Barber was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, where he spent much of his early life. He later moved to various locations for his education and career, including Philadelphia and New York City. Barber also spent time in Europe, particularly in Italy, which influenced his work. Throughout his life, he maintained a residence in several places, but he returned to Pennsylvania, where he eventually passed away.
Samuel Barber composed the "Adagio for Strings" in 1936 as a string orchestration of the second movement of his string quartet, Op. 11. The piece is characterized by its profound emotional depth and has been interpreted as an expression of sorrow and introspection. Barber initially wrote it as a reflection on personal experiences, but its universal themes of loss and mourning have resonated widely, leading to its frequent use in various memorial contexts and films. The Adagio has since become one of Barber's most famous and enduring works.
