Leonid Eremeev

From an early age, the author was immersed in a rich musical culture. One grandmother knew all of Verdi’s operas by heart, while the other was a theater critic who organized seasonal festivals. This vibrant upbringing included frequent visits to musicals, operettas, and operas from the age of five, often 2-3 times a week.

During school, the author studied both piano and guitar but chose to focus on the guitar, drawn by a deep emotional connection to stringed instruments. Later, in Vienna, a particular fondness for jazz guitar emerged, inspired by the influence of a teacher and colleague from Croatia—a living music library who embodied the legacy of diverse musical cultures and styles. This profound mentorship deepened the author’s appreciation for its creative use of harmony.

As a composer, the author has created numerous pieces spanning various musical styles, including Golden Carousel, Farewell Breeze, Dark Rain, Statement, As I Slowly Coming High, Your Hands, Fourth Dream, Sky Dive, Near You, Wait, and Small Little Worries, among others.

With over 11 years of self-taught exploration and analysis in music theory, the author has cultivated a special focus on musical scales. From this journey, The Theory of Heptatonic Scales was born, culminating in the creation of The True Book of Scales and the Circle of Fifths, a work dedicated to supporting the global musician community.
