Wurmser was educated at the Paris Conservatoire and toured extensively as a pianist and conductor (f.ex. with Pavlova in Australia,1926). He founded and lead for a number of years the Paris Philharmonic Orchestra. He recorded many 78rpms, lent his name to a competition for young talented musicians and played duets with Raoul Pugno - mind you - on two pianos - considering Pugno's size.
His œuvre as composer includes an operetta, a ballet and pieces for orchestra and piano. Most of his piano pieces have very illustrating titles like his collection of Prèludes where the pieces have the titles: Ballerine, Sérénité, L'Enteté, Ma Jazotte, Vagues, Danse Grise, Fluidite, Fantasque, Reves, La Nuit, La Campagne and La mer.
