American music executive and musicologist (1930–2020)
Maynard Elliott Solomon (January 5, 1930 – September 28, 2020) was an American music executive and musicologist, a co-founder of Vanguard Records as well as a music producer.[1] Later, he became known for his biographical studies of Viennese Classical composers, specifically Beethoven (writing an influential biography and an award-winning collection of essays), Mozart (biography), and Schubert.[2] Solomon was the first to propose the highly disputed[3][4][5] theory of Schubert's homosexuality in a scholarly publication.[6]
