Paul Preil

Paul Preil (born July 21, 1879 , † 1951 in Leipzig ) was a humorist, composer and music publisher. Pseudonyms were Erich Seifert and IB Lupton .

Life

Paul Preil was born in 1879 and lived in Leipzig, where he worked as a humorist and composer; At times he had his own music publisher, PAP-Verlag Leipzig, in which he brought out his own works. Other publishers who sold his pieces were e.g. B. the publishing house G. Danner, Mühlhausen , Thuringia , the Otto Teich publishing house or the music and theater publishing house of Conrad Glaser in Leipzig. In the best Saxon folk singer tradition, Preil wrote humorous solo lectures, musical scenes, songs and couplets, which were performed by well-known artists such as the Leipzig Krystallpalast singers , Margarete Wiedeke , Rudolf Mälzer and Robert Koppel ; later he also composed hits , many of which he wrote himself. They were usually quickly pressed onto gramophone records, like his perhaps most popular piece, Come on my darling, we're drinking a liqueur from the early 1920s, which Claire Waldoff also interpreted.

Preil also composed German verses based on American hit melodies. Conversely, American artists such as Ivan Frank and Nat Shilkret recorded Preils Schlager in the USA.

Paul Preil died in Leipzig in 1951. He is not to be confused with his younger brother, the Saxon folk singer Arthur Preil , who was also from Leipzig, and also not with his nephew Hans-Joachim Preil , who appeared on radio and television together with Rolf Herricht during the GDR era, where both of them formed a popular comedian duo.
