Biography
P. (Peter) Alfred Leonard (ne Alfred Levi; b. Mannheim, Germany 1909; d. September 10, 1988) was
an entrepreneur, director of symphonic programs on KFAC, radio host for The Golden Hour in 1935 for
which he also published several monographs for subscribers, owner of a Los Angeles music store,
Gateway to Music (1939-1958), founder of the Los Angeles Music Guild (1944) and director of its
concert series (1945-1952). His family was originally from Mannheim, and he came to the
United States in 1933. As an avid supporter of classical music, his circle of friends included
Ernst and Lilly Toch (also from Mannheim), Artur Schnabel, piano duo performers Vitya Vronsky and
Victor Babin, among others whose concerts he sponsored and careers he followed such as Joseph
Szigeti, and Otto Klemperer. His relationship with the Tochs was very close, and correspondence
included exchanges of gifts, poetry, and musical manuscripts. As Ernst shared the same birthday as
Alfred's daughter, Barbara, for several years he sent musical compositions and a theme and
variations based on her name in celebration of their joint birthday. Alfred was also a writer;
this collection includes his articles published in magazines and a collection of essays, and other
unpublished writings and lectures. He published Gateway to Music - Bulletin (1939-1952) as an
adjunct to his store with reviews of recordings. As the host to the radio show, he also kept reel
to reel recordings of his shows, and maintained recordings of Music Guild concert performances.
His brother Joseph Julius Leonard (ne Josef Julius Levi) (b. August 7, 1903; Mannheim, Germany d. May
20, 1979) was a blind, talented pianist and organist, who had an extensive performing career
in Germany before immigrating to the United States. In 1936 he was invited by Manuel Compinksy
to join the faculty at the Pacific Institute of Music and Fine Arts, where he served on the
faculty. In Los Angeles, he served as organist and choir director at Beth Am synagogue (1953-?) and
performed in secular and religious concerts as a soloist and choir director.
This collection provides valuable documents on Los Angeles Western classical musical programs, local
Jewish community musical events, Toch materials not found in other collections, German and German
Jewish newspapers from the 1920s-30s, and correspondence with important composers and
performers. In addition, this collection provides supporting material on the lives of Ernst Toch,
Artur Schnabel, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, piano duo Vitya Vronsky and Victor Babin, and Joseph
Szigeti.
