	Musicians - Jakob van Domselaer

Jakob van Domselaer (1890-1960), a Dutch composer, was born in the town of Nijkerk on April 15, 1890. In 1912 van Domselaer traveled to Paris where he met the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), eventually becoming a part of Mondrian's artistic circle known as "De Stijl." Van Domselaer's piano suite Proeven van Stijlkunst (Experiments in Artistic Style, 1913-17) represented the first attempt to apply principles of Neo-Plasticism to music. This austere, mathematically based music represents an important but as yet unacknowledged precedent to minimalism and has been little performed or recorded.

Van Domselaer's students have included the Dutch composers Nico Schuyt (1922-1992) and Simeon ten Holt (b. 1923).
