I wonder if Jerry Goldsmith, when composing the main title to Star Trek: Voyager (1995), was influenced by the first movement (“In a Mountain Pass”) of Caucasian Sketches, Suite № 1 (1894), by Mikhail Ippolitov‐Ivanov (d. 1935).

OTD in Music History: Soviet composer and pedagogue Reinhold Gliere (1875 - 1956) is born in what is now the Ukraine. In 1894, the young Gliere entered the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied counterpoint with Sergei Taneyev (1856 - 1915), composition with Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov (1859 - 1935), and harmony with Anton Arensky (1861 - 1906). When he graduated in 1900, Gliere was awarded a coveted gold medal in composition. The following year, he accepted a teaching post at the Moscow Gnesin School of Music, and the year after that his former professor Taneyev sent two very important private pupils his way: Nikolai Myaskovsky (1881 - 1950), and a startling eleven-year-old prodigy named Sergei Prokofiev (1891 - 1953). In 1920, following the Russian Revolution, Gliere relocated to the Moscow Conservatory, where he taught intermittently until 1941. His students there included noted Armenian composer and conductor Aram Khachaturian (1903 - 1978). During his own lifetime, Gliere enjoyed a very high status within the Soviet musical world -- largely because of his pronounced interest in exploring the ethnic folk music traditions that were native to various Soviet satellite states. He also directed committees of both the Moscow Union of Composers and Union of Soviet Composers, and was generally feted as something of a cultural celebrity within the USSR. Today, however, only Gliere's so-called "Russian Sailors' Dance," an arrangement of the traditional folk song "Yablochko" ("Little Apple") that closes the first act of his ballet "Krasny mak" ("The Red Poppy," 1927), is still played with any frequency. It seems clear that Gliere's lasting musical legacy lies in his substantial pedagogic impact, rather than his own creative output... PICTURED: A c. 1910 real photo postcard showing the young Gliere sporting an impressive mustache.

"i bet you say that to every artist, FLATTERER"

>cry and despair that no one ever comments on my shit >the few bookmarks are private, like they're ashamed of my works or maybe trash talking it in private >out of nowhere some guy suddenly leaves a bunch of comments, kudos, and very public bookmarks >not just finished works but honestly a whole bunch of weird unfinished works like with Café and the mascots or whatever >honestly would've blocked for bot/bot-like behavior but he's very clearly not a bot >he very much read the works he commented on

Several months now, I'm still very confused about all that. I'll be left confused for a very long time.

Okay, so I wanted to add this comic to enhance the self-hating artist feeling (Tchaikovsky) but I honestly just really wanted to share this

Franz Liszt - Tchaikovsky Research

The day before yesterday I was at a gala concert in honour of the 70-year-old Liszt. The programme was drawn up exclusively from his works. [...] Liszt himself was present at this concert. It was impossible not to be moved by the sight of this great old man, who was touched and shaken by the ovations which the enthusiastic Italians gave him. However, Liszt's works as such leave me cold: poetic intentions predominate in them over real creative force, colouring over draughtsmanship — in short, despite all their effective packaging, they are marred by an emptiness of inner content. He is the complete opposite of Schumann, whose awesome, mighty creative force was mismatched with a greyish, colourless exposition of the musical ideas [2].

Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov later recalled how he had started humming the theme from Liszt's First Piano Concerto during a walk with Tchaikovsky around Maydanovo in March 1887, and how the latter had then berated him: "Please don't remind me of that play-actor. I can't stand his insincerity and affectation!"

...Liszt told [cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen  on Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme]: 'You played magnificently. This is truly music!', and it is a tremendous compliment that such a thing could be said by Liszt!" 

Even so, Tchaikovsky himself believed that Liszt was not really an admirer of his music: As far as I know, he didn't feel any particular sympathy for my music"

I recommend reading through the page, but these two things can both be true:

Liszt was very generous with his praise and admiration for other artists.

Tchaikovsky was really hard on himself.

Stenka Razin, the Cossack who rebelled against the Tsar in 1670

Stenka Razin (Стенька), was a Cossack leader who led a major uprising against the nobility and tsarist bureaucracy in southern Russia in 1670-1671.

In 1667, Razin gathered a small group of Cossacks and left the Don for an expedition in the Caspian Sea. He aimed to set up a base in Yaitsk (now known as Oral, located in Kazakhstan on the Ural River) and plunder villages from there. However, Moscow learned of Razin's plans and attempted to stop him.[7] As Razin traveled down the Volga River to Tsaritsyn, the voivodes of Astrakhan warned Andrei Unkovsky (the voivode or governor of Tsaritsyn) of Razin's arrival and recommended that he not allow the Cossacks to enter the town.

In 1670 Razin, while ostensibly on his way to report at the Cossack headquarters on the Don, openly rebelled against the government, capturing Cherkassk and Tsaritsyn. After capturing Tsaritsyn, Razin sailed up the Volga with his army of almost 7000 men. The men traveled toward Cherny Yar, a government stronghold between Tsaritsyn and Astrakhan. Razin and his men swiftly took Cherny Yar when the Cherny Yar streltsy rose up against their officers and joined the Cossack cause in June 1670.[11] On June 24 he reached the city of Astrakhan. Astrakhan, Moscow's wealthy "window on the East," occupied a strategically important location at the mouth of the Volga River on the shore of the Caspian Sea.[12] Razin plundered the city despite its location on a strongly fortified island and the stone walls and brass cannons that surrounded the central citadel. The local streltsy's rebellion allowed Razin to gain access to the city.[13]

 After massacring all who opposed him (including two Princes Prozorovsky) and giving the rich bazaars of the city over to pillage, he converted Astrakhan into a Cossack republic, dividing the population into thousands, hundreds and tens, with their proper officers, all of whom were appointed by a veche or general assembly, whose first act was to proclaim Razin their gosudar (sovereign).

 After a three-week carnival of blood and debauchery, Razin quit Astrakhan with two hundred barges full of troops.[citation needed] His aim was to establish the Cossack republic along the whole length of the Volga as a preliminary step towards advancing against Moscow. Saratov and Samara were captured, but Simbirsk defied all efforts, and after two bloody encounters close at hand on the banks of the Sviyaga River (October 1 and 4), Razin was ultimately routed by the army of Yuri Baryatinsky and fled down the Volga, leaving the bulk of his followers to be extirpated by the victors.

In 1671 Stepan and his brother Frol Razin were captured at Kagalnik fortress (Кагальницкий городок) by a Cossack starshina. They were given over to Tsarist officials in Moscow, where Stepan was tortured then quartered alive at Lobnoye Mesto. However, the rebellion did not end with Razin's death. The rebels in Astrakhan held out until November 26, 1671, when Prince Ivan Miloslavsky restored government control.

Razin is the subject of a symphonic poem by Alexander Glazunov, a cantata by Shostakovich; The Execution of Stepan Razin (1964), a poem by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, and a novel, I Have Come To Give You Freedom, (ru:Я пришёл дать вам волю) by Vasily Shukshin.

Stenka Razin is the hero of a popular Russian folk song, Ponizovaya Volnitsa, better known by the words Volga, Volga mat' rodnaya. The words were written by Dmitri Sadovnikov (Дмитрий Николаевич Садовников) in 1883; the music is folk. The song gave the title to the famous Soviet musical comedy Volga-Volga. The melody was used by Tom Springfield in the song "The Carnival Is Over" that placed The Seekers at #1 in 1965 in Australia and the UK.The lyrics of the song were dramatized in one of the very first Russian narrative films, Stenka Razin directed by Vladimir Romashkov in 1908. The film lasts about 10 minutes. The screenplay was written by Vasily Goncharov, and the music (the first film music to be specially written to accompany a silent film) was by Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov.

Holberg Suite (Edvard Grieg):

Last win - Lemminkäinen Suite (Sibelius)

THE string orchestra piece of all time. Takes such care of all of its lines throughout the entire piece, with some of the best viola melodies I've had the privilege of playing. The pairing of the romantic texture and melodies with this baroque idea works so well especially in the 3rd movement, and the way Grieg manages to introduce slightly neoclassical ideas is really cool.

OTD in Music History: Important Russian composer, conductor, and pedagogue Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov (1859 – 1935) is born just outside St. Petersburg. Ippolitov-Ivanov studied music at home and served as a choirboy at a local cathedral before entering the St. Petersburg Conservatory in 1875, and, ultimately, completing his studies as a composition pupil of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844 - 1908). Ippolitov-Ivanov's first professional appointment following his graduation as the Director of a music academy and the conductor of a local orchestra in Tbilisi, Georgia, where he spent almost a decade living and working -- and where he also cultivated as strong and enduring interest in the native folk music of that region. (It was also in Tbilisi that he was given the honor of conducting the world premiere of the third and final version of Pytor Tchaikovsky's [1840 - 1892] famous "Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasia," in 1886.) In 1893, Ippolitov-Ivanov was awarded a professorship at the famed Moscow Conservatory, where he went on to serve as Director from 1905 - 1924. It was in that position that he taught fellow notable Russian composer Reinhold Gliere (1875 - 1956). After his retirement from the Conservatory, Ippolitov-Ivanov spent his final years serving as the Director of the equally famous Bolshoi Theatre. Ippolitov-Ivanov's original output includes operas, orchestral music, chamber music, and a large number of songs -- but with the exception of his orchestral suite "Caucasian Sketches" (1894), which includes the much-excerpted "Procession of the Sardar", his own music is rarely heard today. His greatest and most lasting legacy is his work as a notable pedagogue and a highly capable arts administrator who helped to foster the development of Russian "classical" music at a pivotal point in history. PICTURED: A real photo postcard showing the middle-aged Ippolitov-Ivanov, which he signed in 1913.
