WOESTIJNE, David van de |
 | | David van de Woestijne was born on 18 February 1915 in Llandinam (Wales), the son of Gustave van de Woestijne who had moved there for a short time. |
 | | Van de Woestijne also developed a career as a concert pianist, giving performances of his own compositions abroad (including in France, Denmark and Sweden), but it was brought to an abrupt end by a finger injury in 1957. |
 | | David van de Woestijne managed to always integrate following the examples of his two models, an orientation towards Baroque music and a predilection for pure instrumental sound in a transparent, often classically-structured form which makes this music, far from being eclectic, definitely his own. |
