Samuil Evgenyevich Feinberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuil Feinberg Jewgenjewitsch (also: Samuel Feinberg, Russian * 14; Самуил Евгеньевич Фейнберг . Jul / 26. May  1890 . Greg in Odessa ; † 22. October 1962 in Moscow ) was a Russian pianist and composer. He is one of the most important representatives of the Russian-Jewish piano school.

Life

Feinberg was born in Ukraine and lived in Moscow from the age of 4. His "pianistic family tree" leads to Ludwig van Beethoven : his teacher Alexander Goldenweiser was tutored by Paul Pabst . He was a student of Anton Door , who was influenced by Beethoven's pupil Carl Czerny . Until he graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in 1911 Feinberg also studied composition with Nikolai Sergejewitsch Schiljajew . From 1922 until his death in 1962 he taught himself as a professor at the Moscow Conservatory .

In Feinberg's game, the characteristics of the “Russian School”, which referred to Beethoven and, via Alexander Siloti, to Franz Liszt , were balanced: erudition, strength and beauty, an almost universal claim. Feinberg occupied himself particularly intensively with Johann Sebastian Bach , whose Well-Tempered Clavier he recorded in full and whose organ works he partially transcribed for the piano (mostly chorale arrangements ) and also recorded for the record . His style differs through great subtlety and finesse not only from the radical interpretations of the younger Glenn Gould , but also from the romantic style of his contemporary Edwin Fischer .

Feinberg's compositional work includes three piano concertos , twelve sonatas and numerous other piano works, including arrangements of folk songs . All sonatas were published in 2003/2004 on the record label BIS , his Bach transcriptions in 2004 on Hyperion Records .

Feinberg was a juror at the Eugène Ysaÿe competition in Brussels in 1938 .
