[ES]Gracias al fondo documental del legado de Kurt Schindler que se conserva en la Biblioteca P?blica de Nueva York, hemos constatado la existencia de composiciones suyas incidentales; por un lado, destacan las escritas para el repertorio de obras de teatro experimental que dirigieron las hermanas Irene y Alice Lewisohn en el primer tercio del siglo XX para su compa??a Neighborhood Playhouse. Por otro lado, sus adaptaciones de repertorio de m?sica de tradici?n oral vasca y catalana, tuvieron una gran acogida por el p?blico neoyorquino seg?n las cr?ticas de los peri?dicos contempor?neos. Estas obras son prueba del inter?s de Schindler por la m?sica espa?ola, como lo manifiestan sus estudios y publicaciones sobre m?sica medieval espa?ola, m?sica de los polifonistas espa?oles del Siglo de Oro, estudios sobre composiciones de m?sicos contempor?neos espa?oles o sus recopilaciones de m?sica y poes?a popular en la pen?nsula ib?rica; adem?s, como fundador y director de la Schola Cantorum of New York, estren? anualmente muchos de estos repertorios por ?l estudiados, in?ditos en su mayor?a a los oyentes de Manhattan (como recogen las cr?ticas period?sticas). Los viajes frecuentes de las hermanas Lewisohn a Europa y en concreto a Espa?a explican este inter?s por dar a conocer estas obras de nueva creaci?n de teatro l?rico espa?ol.

[EN]Due to the documentary legacy of Kurt Schindler?s papers preserved in the New York Public Library, we found his compositions of incidental music; between them, there is a repertoire written for the Neighborhood Playhouse, an experimental theater conducted by the Lewisohn sisters (Irene and Alice) in the first third of the 20th Century. We especially point out his adaptations of Basque and Catalan oral tradition music repertoires, greatly admired by the New York public as we can read in the reviews of contemporary newspapers. These works are part of Schindler?s special interest for Spanish music, as evidenced by his studies and publications on Spanish medieval music, polyphonic music of the Spanish Golden Age, studies on compositions of Spanish contemporary musicians or his collections of folk music and poetry in the Iberian Peninsula; Schindler, as founder and director of the Schola Cantorum of New York, premiered annually many of those Spanish repertoires he already studied to Manhattan listeners successfully (as stated in newspapers criticism). The frequent trips by the Lewisohn sisters to Europe and specifically to Spain can explain their interest to present these premieres of Spanish theater lyrical plays.
