Emili Salut i Payà (November 13, 1918 - May 16, 1982) was a Catalan trumpeter and composer.
Emili Salut i Payà was born in Barcelona.
Emili Salut attended the Municipal School of Barcelona, where he studied violin with the teachers Sainz de la Maza and Costa and piano with Joseph Climent. But his actual passion was composition. Later, he took a great interest in the trumpet, so he started to attend lessons with Lluís Rovira and he became part of different ensembles in the Avenue of Parallel until 1936, when the Spanish Civil War broke out.
In 1939, he went to the USSR, where he studied to become an pilot. Between 1940 and 1941, he was a musician of the Mijail Lipski Orchestra in Moscow. In 1941, when the German troops entered the Russian territories, because of the World War II, he was locked up for eight years in different prisons and concentration camps. When he was released, in 1948, he continued with his music studies.
He married his first wife, Isida Filippova and then, in 1951, their daughters Francesca and Violeta were born.
It was not until 1957 that he could return to Spain. There, he lived in Madrid and later in Barcelona. He worked at the Radio Nacional de España and then as a Russian teacher at the Assimil Academy.
