Oscar Levant was an American pianist and composer. He had a very interesting life story, but he died at the age of 72 in 1972 due to complications from diabetes. In this blog post I will be talking about his childhood, what made him successful as a musician and why he is so inspiring. Levant’s mother had come to America with her sister after fleeing the pogroms against Jews in Eastern Europe. When she arrived she found out that her husband had gone back home to Russia for work purposes and never returned because he was killed by Cossacks during a riot there on July 3, 1905 (Levant).
