Blitzstein's musical gifts were apparent at an early age; he had performed a <a href="/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart" title="Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart">Mozart</a> piano concerto by the time he was seven. He went on to study piano with <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Siloti" title="Alexander Siloti">Alexander Siloti</a> (a pupil of <a href="/wiki/Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky" title="Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky">Tchaikovsky</a> and <a href="/wiki/Franz_Liszt" title="Franz Liszt">Liszt</a>), and made his professional concerto debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra in Liszt's <a href="/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No._1_(Liszt)" title="Piano Concerto No. 1 (Liszt)">E-flat Piano Concerto</a> when he was 21. </p><p>After studying composition at the <a href="/wiki/Curtis_Institute_of_Music" title="Curtis Institute of Music">Curtis Institute of Music</a>, he went to Europe to continue his studies in <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a> with <a href="/wiki/Arnold_Schoenberg" title="Arnold Schoenberg">Arnold Schoenberg</a> (with whom he did not get on), and in Paris with <a href="/wiki/Nadia_Boulanger" title="Nadia Boulanger">Nadia Boulanger</a> (with whom he did). Despite his later political beliefs, he was, in the early years of his career, a self-proclaimed and unrepentant artistic snob, who firmly believed that true art was only for the intellectual elite. He was vociferous in denouncing composers—in particular <a href="/wiki/Ottorino_Respighi" title="Ottorino Respighi">Respighi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Maurice_Ravel" title="Maurice Ravel">Ravel</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Kurt_Weill" title="Kurt Weill">Kurt Weill</a>—who, he felt, debased their standards to reach a wider public. </p><p>His works of this period, mostly pianistic vehicles such as the <i>Piano Sonata</i> (1927) and the <a href="/wiki/Piano_Concerto_(Blitzen)" class="mw-redirect" title="Piano Concerto (Blitzen)"><i>Piano Concerto</i> (Blitzen)</a> are typical of the Boulanger-influenced products of American modernism — strongly rhythmic (though not influenced by <a href="/wiki/Jazz" title="Jazz">jazz</a>) and described by himself as "wild, dissonant and percussive." These early works were far removed from the Schoenberg style. </p><p>The dramatic premiere of the pro-<a href="/wiki/Labor_union" class="mw-redirect" title="Labor union">union</a> <i>The Cradle Will Rock</i> took place at the Venice Theater on June 16, 1937. The cast had been locked out of the <a href="/wiki/Maxine_Elliott_Theatre" class="mw-redirect" title="Maxine Elliott Theatre">Maxine Elliott Theatre</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration" title="Works Progress Administration">Works Progress Administration</a>, the government agency which had originally funded the production, so the cast and musicians walked with the audience to the nearby Venice. There, without costumes or sets, they performed the work concert-style, actors and musicians alike, sitting among the audience (to evade union restrictions on their performance) with Blitzstein narrating from the piano. In 1939, <a href="/wiki/Leonard_Bernstein" title="Leonard Bernstein">Leonard Bernstein</a> led a revival of the play at <a href="/wiki/Harvard_University" title="Harvard University">Harvard</a>, narrating from the piano just as Blitzstein had done.
