Contact seller5-star sellerPublisher's wrappers. Book measures: 21 x 16 cm. 19 pages. Text in Russian. Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (1865-1936) was a prominent Russian composer, educator, and conductor of the late Romantic era. He served as the director of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, overseeing its transformation into the Petrograd, then Leni…ngrad Conservatory after the 1917 Revolution, until his departure from the Soviet Union in 1928. Glazunov, who counted Dmitri Shostakovich among his notable students, skillfully blended Russian nationalism with a cosmopolitan style, drawing inspiration from Balakirev, Borodin's majestic narratives, Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestration, Tchaikovsky's lyricism, and Taneyev's counterpoint. Despite being seen as somewhat traditional by younger contemporaries like Prokofiev and Shostakovich, he was respected for his significant stature and his steadying presence during a period of significant change.
