biography
Schor received his first piano lessons from his father. From 1880 to 1885 he studied at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory with Karel van Ark (Карл Карлович Фан-Арк) and Vasily Ilyich Safonow . In 1885 he followed Safonov to the Moscow Conservatory , where he took the concert exam in 1889. In the next few years he performed as a pianist in various cities in Russia. In 1892 he founded the Moscow Trio with the violinist David Kerin and the cellist Modest Altschuler , with which he gave concerts in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Berlin, Paris and London.
In 1907 he left the Moscow Trio and founded the Beethoven Studio for the Promotion of Classical Music , which organized concerts, lectures and music evenings under his direction. In addition, he gave public lectures on music history and led a piano class as a professor at the Moscow Conservatory from 1918 to 1925.
As a personal friend of Lev Borisovich Kamenev , he managed for a while to organize talks between the Russian Zionist movement and representatives of the state leadership such as Alexei Ivanovich Rykov , Pyotr Germogenovich Smidovich and Yuri Larin - including a meeting of representatives of Hechaluz with Stalin himself. These came to an end when anti-Soviet leaflets were found in Zionist circles.
Schor himself emigrated to Palestine in 1925 and settled in Tel Aviv in 1927. With his son Joshua Schor he organized music education in Tel Aviv and founded a music institute there in 1936. He last performed as a pianist a few months before his death in March 1942.
