Kramer, Catherine

Catherine (or Catharine) Kramer completed a three-year course in piano, piano pedagogy, and composition at the Master Institute of Roerich Museum in May 1934. During the late 1920s through the early 1940s, Kramer composed several original compositions for piano and voice, primarily musical settings of the works of contemporary American and other poets. During the 1930s, Kramer also published her arrangements, generally for two pianos and four hands, of works of other composers, including Johan Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Moritz Moskowski, and Bedric Smetana.
