Born 1892 St Petersburg: died 1966, Princeton, New Jersey. Lourie studied at the St Petersburg Conservatoire and was friends with the Russian symbolist, Aleksandr Blok and Osip Mandel’shtam. From 1918 he worked under Lunacharsky as music commissar in charge of the music division (MUZO) of the Department of Education. Partly due to his modernist interests he began to meet some opposition from both the unofficial Proletarian Culture organisation (PROLETKULT) and from the Union of Russian Artists (VSERABIS). He left Russia in 1921 and visited Berlin where he met Busoni and with who he shared many ideas on the future curse of music. In 1924 he moved to Paris where he met and formed a friendship with Stravinsky. He later settled in USA in 1941, becoming an American citizen in 1947.

Lourie was at one time interested in the possibilities of microtonal music [there is mention of a quartet composed in this idiom in 1910] - this aspect of music was of-course later developed by Vyshnegradsky and G. Rimsky-Korsakov. Around 1915 Lourie was writing some of the most interesting experimental music to be composed in Russia following the death of Scriabin. Works such as ‘Forms in the Air’, Synthèses and the Sonatinas for piano have all been described as dodecaphonic, serial and influenced by Scriabin, Debussy and Schoenberg. In fact, there is little evidence of any of these in Lourie’s work, which was highly original. After leaving Russia his music became more modal in style and religious in context, as suggested by some of the titles. The Intermezzo and Nocturne (1928) for piano reveal a greatly simplified approach compared to the Russian period, reflecting greater flexibility of phrasing and meter, and a typical Russian focusing on pitch centres separated by a minor third Op 1 Cinq Preludes Fragiles (1908-10) Op 2 Deux Estampes (1910)

Lykhovyd V 1946 – Monody + piano pieces [collections, children’s pieces] Lysenko N [M] V [Lisenko, Lissenko] 1842 - 1912 Nikolay Vitalyevich Lysenko. Born 1842, Hrynky, near Kremenchug; died 1912, Kyiv. Ukrainian composer, ethnomusicologist, conductor and pianist. As a child, began his piano studies with his mother, and even at this early stage became fascinated by native Ukrainian music. His education continued at Kyiv Conservatoire from 1860-64, the Leipzig Conservatoire to 1869 and later the St Petersburg Conservatoire where he studied composition and orchestration under Rimsky-Korsakov (1874-76). He returned to Kyiv in 1876 – it should be noted that his Ukrainian patriotism developed early in his life and his political activism was no less acute than his musical nationalism. In 1904 he founded the Music-Dramatic School in Kyiv, where he encouraged Ukrainian musical art to flourish. For the 1905 revolution he wrote the choral work “Vechny revoyutsioner” [The Eternal Revolutionary] to a text by A. Franko. Lysenko was particularly inspired by the Ukrainian poet Shevchenko, and was determined to create a true Ukrainian opera in his own language and using national material. He wrote operas based upon stories by his fellow countryman, Gogol – most notable the heroic-historic opera “Taras Bulba” (1880-1890) whilst his most popular is the opera “Natalka Poltavka (1889). In addition to composing, Lysenko collected, arranged and published over 600 folksongs from 1868 to 1911 and also wrote several literary treaties concerning Ukrainian folk music. Yet, despite his achievements his music is rarely known outside of Ukraine. Op 2 Suite de l’Ukraine in G major (Idzikovski 1869)

Studied with Ippolitov-Ivanov in Tbilisi, then with Glazunov and Rimsky-Korsakov at the St Petersburg Conservatoire (1898-1902). From 1908 he taught at the Odessa Music School, which was to become the Odessa Conservatoire in 1913. He remained its director until 1921, when he then settled in Warsaw. Malishevsky became the founder of the Chopin Institute (1933) and taught at the Chopin School from1925-27, and the Warsaw Conservatoire from 1931 to 1939. Among his many students were Davidenko, Lutoslawski, Radchenko, Rakhlis, Steinberg and Vilinsky.

Born 1912, Kiev: died 1983 Antibes, France. Conductor and composer. Left Russia in 1913 with his family and settled in Switzerland (1916). In Paris, studied piano with Cortot at the Ecole Normale de Musique, and counterpoint and composition with N. Boulanger. His original compositions received mixed reviews – those who were enthusiastic about his music nicknamed him “Igor II” [Stravinsky being Igor I] and his ballet ‘Rebus’ and ‘The flight of Icarus’ even due praise from Bartok. Yet other compositions, such as the cantata ‘Paradise Lost’ were attacked for their dissonance. As such, Markevich decided to turn his attention more towards conducting, studying with Scherchen in Switzerland from 1934-35. He is best remembered as a conductor and held numerous positions including with the Stockholm Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony, Concerts Lamoureux and the Monto Carlo Orchestra. Les Noces (c. 1924)

Born 1839, Býšt, Bohemia; died 1916 St Petersburg. Although strictly classified as a Bohemian composer, Napravnik spent that vast major of his life in Russia and was a significant conductor there, and hence I have included him under this thread. Napravnik began his music studies in Býšt, and then continued in Dašice with his uncle, Augustin Svoboda, followed by further studies at the Prague Organ School (1953). Whilst a student and instructor at the Maydl Institute (1856-61), he studied composition with Kittl at the Prague Conservatoire, producing a number of orchestral, chamber, vocal and piano works. From 1861 – 1863 he was engaged as director of

Prince Yusupov’s private orchestra in St Petersburg. In 1863 he became répétiteur at the Mariinsky Theatre, eventually becoming principal conductor in 1868, a position he held until his death. He also conducted the Russian Music Society concerts between 1869-1881. Although primarily noted as a conductor, he was recognised for his thoroughness, discipline and keen ear, and not only introduced many foreign opera to Russian audiences but also premiered some 80 operas by Russian composers. As a composer, Napravnik was to move away from his early Bohemian leaning towards adopting the Russian tradition exemplified by Tchaikovsky [and very evident his is most famous opera, Dubrovsky].

In 1874 he travelled to Riga, where he taught piano: four years later he accepted a position at the Moscow Conservatoire at the invitation of Nicholas Rubinstein. Following Rubinstein’s death he became the director of the Conservatoire in 1883, and from 1881-97 also held the title of Professor of Piano. Pabst exerted a considerable influence on the training of a number of Russian musicians including Bekman-Shcherbina, G & L Konyus, Gedike, Gol’denveizer, Igumnov, Lyapunov, Medtner, Olenin and Yaroshevsky. As a pianist he was noted for his impeccable sense of musical architecture and well-rounded technique. Although he maintained a wide repertoire, his speciality was as an interpreter of Liszt and Schumann’s music, he was also a greater advocate of the music of his friend’s, Tchaikovsky and Arensky. He was also prolific as a composer although it has proven difficult to build a full list of his works beyond those that are particularly well-known including the various paraphrases he wrote on works by Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein.

Conductor, composer and linguist. Originally educated in Moscow where his family moved in 1896. He studied law at Moscow University from 1917, whilst at the same time studied music at the Moscow Conservatoire (composition with Myaskovsky and Catoire, orchestration and form with Vasilenko, piano with Konyus and later Kippa, plus lessons in fugue from Gliere, harmony and counterpoint with Zolotaryov and Ilinsky, and conducting from Malko). He graduated in 1924 but continued post-graduate studies at the Conservatoire until 1926, after which he taught orchestra and music analysis there until 1932. Polovinkin was involved with the publication of the “Handbook of Musical Forms” by his teacher Catoire, and helped establish a Leningrad a theatre for ballet and opera. He was music director of the Aleksandrinsky Theatre in Leningrad and after 1927, director of the Moscow Central Children’s Theatre. His earliest works were in general for the theatre, although he started writing piano sonatas from the early 1920’s and advanced in to various music forms. These sonatas show a mildly modernist tendency combining the more obvious harmonic colouring of Scriabin with a growing tendency towards the linear style cultivated by Prokofiev. He remained quite conservatoire in matters of form and structure. In 1927 his orchestral work “Prologue” was performed at a concert sponsored by the Russian Association for Contemporary Music (ASM) to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the October Revolution. However, in 1929 when Lunacharsky was ousted from office, the situation began to get difficult for modernist artists in Russia and the composer’s 5th piano sonata reflected a marked simplification of harmony and texture. It was sub titled “last sonata” and seems to have indicated a gesture towards the proletarian groups, to give up abstract formal music and for his compositions to reflect a greater attention to Soviet “realism”. Although he did not write any further piano sonatas he did write large-scale symphonies [9 in total] during the 1930’s.
