Emili Salut i Payà (November 13, 1918 - May 16, 1982) was a Catalan trumpeter and composer.

Biography[edit]

Emili Salut i Payà was born in Barcelona.[1]

Emili Salut attended the Municipal School of Barcelona,[2] where he studied violin with the teachers Sainz de la Maza[1] and Costa and piano with Joseph Climent.[1] But his passion was composition. Later, he took a great interest in the trumpet, so he started lessons with Lluís Rovira[1] and became part of ensembles in the Avenue of Parallel until 1936,[1] when the Spanish Civil War broke out.

In 1939, he went to the USSR, where he studied to become a pilot.[2] Between 1940 and 1941, he was a musician of the Mijail Lipski Orchestra in Moscow.[1] In 1941, when German troops entered Russian territories, he was locked up for eight years in prisons and concentration camps. When he was released in 1948,[1] he continued with his music studies.

He married his first wife, Isida Filippova. They had two daughters, Francesca and Violeta.

In 1957 he was able to return to Spain and live in Madrid and Barcelona. He worked at the Radio Nacional de España and then as a teacher at the Assimil Academy.[3]
