Yakov Flier Vladimirovich ( Russian Яков Владимирович Флиер ; born October 8 . Jul / 21st October  1912 greg. In Orekhovo-Zuyevo , †  18th December 1977 in Moscow ) was a Russian pianist and piano teacher.

Education and piano competitions

Jabow Flier grew up as one of seven children of watchmaker Wladimir Michailowitsch Flier and his wife Elisabeth Lasarewna in Orechowo-Sujewo. The mother was musical and played the piano. Flier experimented on his own instrument, showed talent and received lessons at the music school of Sergei Nikanorowitsch Korsakow from the age of seven. From 1923 he attended the preparatory school for the Moscow Conservatory in Moscow , where he was taught by GP Prokofiev and SA Koslowski. In 1929 Flier switched to Konstantin Igumnov 's class at the Conservatory and finished his piano studies in 1934 with the highest distinction and an entry as a gold medalist on the Conservatory's roll of honor after the performance of Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto op. 30 in D minor . He then completed a graduate degree at Igumnow until 1937, when he worked as his assistant after graduation.

In 1935 Flier won the All-Soviet All-Union Piano Competition in Leningrad, became known throughout the country and engaged in extensive concert activities as a soloist with the Moscow Philharmonic Society. In 1936 he took part in the Vienna International Piano Competition, where he won first place ahead of Emil Gilels , and in 1938 he came third at the Concours Eugène Ysaÿe in Brussels.

Career

He was best known for his interpretations of romantic piano music, although he also devoted himself to contemporaries such as Dmitri Kabalewski . Due to an injury, Flier soon withdrew from concerts and became a professor at the Moscow Conservatory, where he brought forth many important students, including Luba Edlina , Nina Lelchuk , Sergei Musaeljan , Bella Davidovich , Viktoria Postnikowa , Lev Vlassenko , Regina Shamvili , Rodion Shchedrin , Mikhail Rudy , Vladimir Feltsman , Shoshana Rudiakov , Mūza Rubackytė , Mikhail Faerman and Michail Pletnjow .
