Shapey studied with Stefan Wolpe from 1939 to 1942 at the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia and again from 1946 to 1949 in New York. He was Wolpe's assistant at the Contemporary Music School from 1948 to 1950 and became a leading exponent of his music during the ensuing decades. Wolpe in turn regarded Shapey as the most brilliant and accomplished of his students. After Shapey's studies with Wolpe ended, they enjoyed a fruitful collaboration until their relationship soured and they broke off personal communications in the early 1960s. When asked in later years what he had learned from Wolpe, Shapey said that he could not really remember. This article provides an account of Wolpe's pedagogical ideas from his lectures and from accounts of students Eli Yarden, Elmer Bernstein, Eddie Sauter and others. Compositions are discussed that Shapey wrote between 1940 and 1949—the year he left the Wolpe workshop. |
