who is Leo Leonbro?

Post by isleofreil1024 »

I am curious about a violin and cello sonata from 1915 that lists Leo Leonbro as the composer and Paul Decourcelle as the editor. Googling yields no information about Leon Leonbro, but I do see on IMSLP that Decourcelle composed some pieces published under a somewhat silly sounding pseudonym so I am wondering if Leo Leonbro is a pseudonym for Decourcelle or one of the other composers whose pieces were published by Decroucelle's firm. I am enjoying playing this piece with another local amateur and would love to know more about its origins, especially as sans keyboard is an unusual scoring. One of the things that I love about IMSLP is "discovering" wonderful music that is new to me.-- Eve
