Life and public work

Valeri Brainin is a son of the poet and translator Boris Brainin (pseudonym: Sepp Österreicher) and the pediatrician Asja Iljinitschna Brajnina, born. Passek. In his school days he distinguished himself with very good performance and won first places in mathematics Olympiads. As a pedagogy student he got into difficulties because of his commitment to human rights (Pedagogical Institute in Nizhny Tagil). In 1974 he was able to complete a distance learning course in music theory and composition with honors (Vocational School for Music in Sverdlovsk, now Yekaterinburg ). In Nizhny Tagil and Sverdlovsk he worked as a leader of poetic circles, in Tiraspol and Moscow as a high and middle school teacher of music. After applications to leave Israel were rejected , he gave private lessons and in 1990 he emigrated to Germany.

In Hanover , Brainin was the initiator and artistic director of the International Music Competition "Classica Nova", which was dedicated to Dmitri Shostakovich and was held in May 1997, an event that was characterized by prominent juries and high numbers of participants. As an author, Brainin has also dedicated himself to the concept of “Classica Nova” or “New Classics”, as well as microtonal music , for which he proposed a 29-step temperature control .

From 2004–2014, Brainin was President of RussSME (Russian Federation Society for Music Education), and since 2014 he has been Honorary President. The RussSME has been one of the "ISME National Affiliates" since 2004, so it represents the Russian Federation in the ISME (International Society for Music Education), a partner of the IMC (International Music Council) and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) ). In 2008, Brainin ran at ISME level for the position of "President-Elect" (President-elect). He is a member of the German Society for Music Psychology , a member of the International Academy of Sciences for Pedagogical Education based in Moscow and head of a research center at the Moscow State Pedagogical University .

Educational activity

Valeri Brainin developed the Brainin method named after him for the development of musical intelligence in children . The method is based on findings from semiotics , information theory , structural linguistics and developmental psychology ( Jean Piaget , Lev Wygotski ). In addition, ideas of other practical methods of developing musical hearing and thinking flow into it, as are: "Absolute" Solfeggio , relative solmization ( Sarah Ann Glover , John Curwen , Agnes Hundoegger , Zoltán Kodály , Carl Orff , Richard Münnich ), syllables of Estonian Choir director Heino Kaljuste, the Bulgarian scale model “Stolbitzata” by Boris Tritschkow, rhythmic solmization ( Galin-Paris-Chevé method by Pierre Galin , Emile Chevé and Aimé Paris , Music Learning Theory by Edwin Gordon ).

The main concern of the Brainin Method is the development of predictive perception in potential listeners of serious classical music and / or in professional musicians. Most of Brainin's scientifically recognized work is published in Russian and is not listed here.

Literary activity

From the 1980s to the early 1990s, Brainin was a member of the literary club "Poesia" ( Russian Клуб "Поэзия" ; among the members were Lev Rubinstein and Dmitri Prigow ) in Moscow. Brainin's poems were published in Russian- language literary magazines. a. in Novy Mir (New World), Ogonyok (little fire), Znamya (Banner, the flag), Moskovsky Komsomolets and Literaturnaya Gazeta . His poem Dialog ( Russian "Я ехал на трамвае в морг" ) was translated into English and published in 1994 in the American journal Partisan Review .
