==Biografía==
Skalkottas born in Chalcis, on the island of Euboeia. Very early on he started violin lessons with his father and uncle. His family moved to Athens, and he continued studying at the Athens Conservatory and graduated in 1920. From 1921 to 1933 he lived in Berlin, where he first took violin lessons with Willy Hess. In 1923 he decided to give up his career as a violinist and become a composer. He studied composition with Paul Kahn, Paul Juon, Kurt Weill, Philipp Jarnach and Arnold Schoenberg. In 1933, when Hitler came to power, Skalkottas returned to Athens, where he earned a living playing in different orchestras. Another reason why Skalkottas might have returned to Greece at the time, is that the scholarship that funded his studies expired. In Athens he sought other means of funding, be it other scholarships or paid work. However he was quickly disillusioned with the musical affairs in Athens at the time.
 
Skalkottas nació en [[Calcis]], en la [[isla]] de [[Eubea]]. Muy temprano comenzó sus estudios de [[violín]] con su padre y su tío. Su familia se trasladó a [[Atenas]], y él continuó estudiando en el [[Conservatorio]] de Atenas graduándose en [[1920]]. Desde [[1921]] hasta [[1933]] vivió en [[Berlín]], donde primero tomó clases de violín con [[Willy Hess]]. En [[1923]] decidió dejar su carrera de violinista y convertirse en un compositor. Estudió composición con [[Paul Kahn]], [[Paul Juon]], [[Kurt Weill]], [[Philipp Jarnach]] y [[Arnold Schoenberg]]. En [[1933]], cuando [[Hitler]] subió al poder, Skalkottas regresó a Atenas, donde trabajó como violinista en diferentes [[orquesta]]s. Otra razón por la que Skalkottas pudo haber regresado a [[Grecia]] en aquel tiempo, es que su permiso de estudios había expirado. En Atenas buscó otros medios de financiamiento o trabajos. Sin embargo, estaba muy desilusionado con la vida musical de Atenas en aquel tiempo.
 
Skalkottas' early works, most of which he wrote in Berlin and some of those written in Athens, are lost. The earliest of his works available to us today are dating from 1922-24 and are piano compositions as well as the orchestration of "Cretan Feast" by Dimitris Mitropoulos. Among the later works written in Berlin are the sonata for solo violin, several works for piano, chamber music and some symphonic works. During the period 1931-1934 Skalkottas did not compose anything. He started composing again in Athens continued until he died. His works comprise symphonic works (Greek Dances, the symphonic overture Return of Ulysses, the fairy drama Mayday Spell, the second symphonic suite, the ballet The Maiden and Death, the Classical Symphony for winds, a Sinfonietta and several concertos), chamber music works, as well as vocal works.
