Richard Stewart Addinsell (13 January 1904 – 14 November 1977) was a British composer, best known for film music, primarily his Warsaw Concerto, composed for the 1941 film Dangerous Moonlight (also known under the later title Suicide Squadron).
Richard Addinsell was born in Woburn Square, London, to William Arthur Addinsell, who was a chartered accountant, and his wife, Annie Beatrice Richards. The younger of two brothers, Addinsell was educated at home before attending Hertford College, Oxford, to study Law but went down after just 18 months. He then became interested in music.
In 1925, he enrolled at the Royal College of Music but lasted only two terms before leaving, again without obtaining any formal qualification. By this time Addinsell was already collaborating with Noel Gay, among others, in an André Charlot Revue. More work for Charlot in 1927 was followed in 1928 by a collaboration with Clemence Dane on Adam's Opera at The Old Vic. In 1929, he completed his informal education by touring Europe to visit major theatrical and musical centres such as Berlin and Vienna.
The Warsaw Concerto is a short work for piano and orchestra by Richard Addinsell, written for the 1941 British film Dangerous Moonlight, which is about the Polish struggle against the 1939 invasion by the Nazis. In performance it normally lasts just under ten minutes. The concerto is an example of programme music, representing both the struggle for Warsaw and the romance of the leading characters in the film. It became very popular in Britain during World War II.
The concerto is written in imitation of the style of Sergei Rachmaninoff. It initiated a trend for similar short piano concertos in the Romantic style, which have been dubbed "tabloid concertos".
The composer, Richard Addinsell, was born in London and initially studied law before turning to a career in music. His time at the Royal College of Music was brief, as he was soon drawn to musical theater, and he also wrote for radio, but his most memorable contributions are to a series of film scores beginning in 1936. He wrote the music for the 1939 film Goodbye, Mr. Chips, the original Gaslight (released in 1940, not to be confused with the later Hollywood version), and Dangerous Moonlight (1941, also released in the US as Suicide Squadron). It is this last picture that began the trend of “tabloid concertos,” classical-style compositions written for performance in movies. John Huntley explores the reason behind this concept:

Live performance of Warsaw Concerto by Richard Addinsell. The soloist was Chris Hill with the West Forest Sinfonia. Recorded on 11th November 2006 in All Saints Church, High Wycombe This performance is dedicated to Peter Branson, my first piano teacher. He sadly passed away before I ever performed in public, but his memory inspires every performance I give today. If anyone is interested, over the last few years I have composed a new romantic-style piano concerto (the "Fantastica") and it was premiered with an amateur student orchestra on 11th March 2010 in Cambridge. YouTube has finally let me upload a full-length live recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W46d5yZGmfU Enjoy! Chris x
Thank you so much for watching! This is my senior recital performance of Warsaw Concerto on February 11, 2017. I'll be posting a video of me playing it perfectly soon enough. Enjoy.

It starred Kate Burton as Alice, and her father, Richard Burton, as the White Knight. Other notable roles included Nathan Lane as the Dormouse, Geoffrey Holder as the Cheshire Cat, and Eve Arden as the Queen of Hearts. The production was a revival of actress-director Eva Le Gallienne and Florida Friebus's famous 1932 stage adaptation of Lewis Carroll's novel.
