  • Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (10 August 1865 - 21 March 1936) was a Russian composer, music teacher, and conductor of the late Russian Romantic period. He served as director of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory between 1905 and 1928 and was also instrumental in the reorganization of the institute into the Petrograd Conservatory, then the Leningrad Conservatory, following the Bolshevik Revolution. He continued heading the Conservatory until 1930, though he had left the Soviet Union in 1928 and did not return. The best known student under his tenure during the early Soviet years was Dmitri Shostakovich.
    Glazunov was significant in that he successfully reconciled nationalism and cosmopolitanism in Russian music. While he was the direct successor to Balakirev's nationalism, he tended more towards Borodin's epic grandeur while absorbing a number of other influences. These included Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestral virtuosity, Tchaikovsky's lyricism and Taneyev's contrapuntal skill. Younger composers such as Prokofiev and Shostakovich eventually considered his music old-fashioned while also admitting he remained a composer with an imposing reputation and a stabilizing influence in a time of transition and turmoil.

    Sometimes the simplest looking music is often the most difficult to play. Beautiful music.

    I'm pretty sure that the viola has had more elegies written for it, than any other instrument. (This one is gorgeous, and beautifully played, too)

      @@sneddypie I'd personally think it an honor to be given the responsibility of playing at the more sensitive ceremony. You can mess up a wedding (as many do), and people will brush it off. You sure as hell better not mess up a funeral, though.

    I have heard more Viola beginning yet this one. I feel like playing it and making it my own for fun. You know just see what tune I can play with it for fun. Can't no Viola, I did play though by borrowing. I would try to play this song if I had one😃 after Passcalagia, it's on pause but I still look at it.
