One of my sources, Hinson's Guide to the Pianist's Repertoire, lists Previn as U.S., but I see that you are correct that he was born in Berlin. His family left when Andre was 10, and his musical career was established in the U.S. which is I'm sure why he is generally thought of as an American composer. I will change that hint.
Really appreciate getting feedback so quizzes are as accurate as possible.
I have kept the other spelling as acceptable.
Thanks for catching this
