Oskar Morawetz, CM OOnt (January 17, 1917 – June 13, 2007) was a Canadian composer. Morawetz was born in Světlá nad Sázavou, Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic). He studied piano and theory in Prague and, following the Nazi takeover of his country in 1938, studied in Vienna and Paris, always staying one step ahead of the invading Nazis. At an early age he developed the ability to sight-read orchestral scores and at the age of 19 he was recommended by George Szell for the assistant conductor's post with the Prague Opera. In 1940 he left Europe for Canada and since that time he established himself as one of Canada's leading and most frequently performed composers.

  • オスカル・モラヴェッツ（Oskar Morawetz, 1917年1月17日 - 2007年6月13日）は、カナダの作曲家。 ボヘミア（現チェコ）のスベトラ・ナド・サザボウで生まれる。プラハでピアノと音楽理論を学んでいたが、1938年にナチス・ドイツによって祖国チェコスロバキアが解体されると、ウィーン、ついでパリに逃れて学習を続けた。最終的に1940年にヨーロッパを離れてカナダに亡命した。1946年にはトロントの王立音楽院で教壇に立ち、1952年から1982年までトロント大学の作曲の教授を務めた。1989年にはカナダ勲章を受章している。 色彩的なオーケストレーションが特徴的で、20世紀の様々な技法を取り入れている。しかし十二音技法や電子音楽・偶然性の音楽などを採用することはなかった。 代表作には『マーティン・ルーサー・キングの思い出に』、『アンネ・フランクの日記より』などがある。 (ja)
