Alexandra Alznauer <petiealznauer@earthlink.net> is interested in knowing more about Matthew Hosenpud (1903-1960). She believes he may have been from Belarus, Russia (Kiev or Smolensk?). There is a recording called "Rediscovering" on Boston Records label with a pianist playing Khatchaturian, Scriabin and Hosenpud. She is a genealogist researching the Hosenpud family. They were a Jewish family from Belarus who came from the Bobruisk District near Kiev. Was Matthew Hosenpud a Russian composer or did he live in another country? Did he emigrate to the United States or another country? Did he have children? If so, who, when and where? How can his descendants be contacted? Also, what type of music stylistically did he compose? Thank you very much for any assistance.
