Wolfgang Zuckermann
Wolfgang Joachim () Zuckermann (born 11 October 1922) has achieved renown in two careers. As a harpsichord maker, he invented a highly popular kit for constructing new instruments and wrote an influential book, ''The Modern Harpsichord''. As environmental and social activist, he has authored books including ''The Mews of London'' and ''The End of the Road''.
==Early life==
He was born in Berlin to Jewish parents in an academic family,〔Source: David Jacques Way's afterword to ''The Modern Harpsichord'', cited below〕 and was named Wolfgang after Goethe and Mozart.〔Zuckermann (1968)〕 He had a older brother, Alexander, who later became a city planner and bicycle advocate in Oakland, California,〔San Francisco Chronicle, obituary for Alexander Zuckermann, Aug. 12, 2007. On line at http://home.comcast.net/~zuckermann/News/SF_Chron_AZ_obituary.pdf. For "academic family", Kottick (2003:458)〕 and a younger brother named Michael.〔http://www.insidebayarea.com/search/ci_6590789〕 At age eight he began studying the cello,〔Zuckermann (1968); the age of ten is given instead in Schott, Howard (n.d.) "Zuckermann, Wolfgang Joachim''. ''New Grove Dictionary of Music'', online edition: www.oxfordmusiconline.com.〕 an instrument he continued to play in adulthood. The male family members formed a string quartet, with Alexander playing first violin, the father second, Michael viola, and Wolfgang cello.〔〔Zuckermann also learned to play keyboard instruments and can be heard playing his own clavichord and harpsichords on the External Links below.〕
With the advent of the Nazis in Germany, Zuckermann's family had to flee the country; they settled in New York in 1938, where Zuckermann's father ran a leather factory.〔Alexander Zuckermann obituary〕 In the same year Zuckermann became an American citizen and henceforth went by the name "Wallace" (or, in suitable contexts, "Wally").〔See Zuckermann (1968), as well as (), in which an acquaintance writes "When he came to the United States, he told me he changed his name from Wolfgang Joachim Zuckermann to Wallace to Americanize it. Friends further Americanized it by calling him Wally." Zuckermann later published primarily under the name Wolfgang; only his column for ''Harpsichord'' (see below) is signed Wallace.〕 He saw front line action as a private with the U.S. Army〔Source for rank: personal communication from Zuckermann to Eric Britton in 2006, used by the latter for a Wikipedia edit; ()〕 and followed this by obtaining a B.A. in English and psychology (1949)〔Schott (1986)〕 from Queens College, New York, winning the title of Queens College Scholar, the highest honor conferred upon graduates at that institution. He continued for a time studying psychology at the graduate level.〔New Grove〕
