	Nikolai Myaskovsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nikolai Yakovlevich Myaskovsky (ru: Николай Мясковский, also transliterated to Miaskovskii) (April 20, 1881 – August 8, 1950) was a Russian composer.
		Myaskovsky was born in Novogeorgiyevsk, near Warsaw, and moved to Saint Petersburg in his teens.
		Prokofiev and Myaskovsky worked together in Conservatory on at least one work, a lost symphony, parts of which were later scavenged to provide material for the slow movement of Prokofiev's fourth piano sonata.

	N. Myaskovsky » His life and music
		Nikolai Myaskovsky was born in the military frontier town of Novo Georgiyevsk (present day Lomze) in the Warsaw governorate of the Polish territories of the Tsarist empire on April 20, 1881.
		For the next eight years, Nikolai tried to balance his studies in military engineering—which was directing him to a military career in the path of his father and grandfather—and his increasing commitment and love of music.
		Nikolai and his sisters of course were products of this old order and to survive ever after they had to dissemble both their feelings and views and their backgrounds.

		As we speak, Neemi Jarvi is currently recording the Myaskovsky symphonies with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra under the BIS label (if not Deutsche Grammophon, or both); health permitting (for Jarvi suffered a stroke over a year ago), the project may be completed by year's end.
		The truth is that Myaskovsky comes across as a composer with depth and substance, capable of moving the subconscious in ways that are reflective and memorable.
		Myaskovsky was neither a Soviet Realist composer or a highly defiant one in veins similar to Shostakovich or Prokofiev (and to some extent Shebalin).

	Behind the Curtain: Submission and Resistance under the Soviet Regime
		Two generations of composers are considered today: Nikolai Myaskovsky came of age before the October Revolution, Dmitri Shostakovich and Tikhon Khrennikov were still children–eleven and four years of age–when the Communists took over.
		Myaskovsky's evolution and career as a mature composer, therefore, had to take into account the shifting direction of post-revolutionary politics.
		The case of Myaskovsky is less well known but comparable in that a profoundly talented composer struggled to adapt to changing circumstances and survived as a professional.

	Myaskovsky, Symphony No. 21
		For Myaskovsky the answer lay in routine everyday existence and regular work, in the idea of honest service (remember his noble military background) and in his love for and undying interest in music.
		For instance, Myaskovsky's letters to Prokofiev, which were very detailed as far as music was concerned, did not contain any hint of his opinion about contemporary events, nor do they even mention anything regarding political issues.
		All of Myaskovsky's dark melancholy, his fears and shadows of the past, his loneliness and longings, are concentrated in the introduction.

	N. Myaskovsky » Myaskovsky's Legacy Revived
		April 20 marked the 120th anniversary of the birth of the Russian composer Nikolai Myaskovsky.
		Myaskovsky's legacy comprises 27 symphonies, 13 quartets, sonatas for piano, concertos for violin and cello, lyrical cycles.
		Myaskovsky was somewhat outshone by such renowned 20th century composers as Prokofiev and Shostakovich, although both held him in high esteem.

	Sergei Prokofiev
		He was also viewed as eccentric and arrogant, and he often expressed dissatisfaction with much of the education which he found boring.
		During this period he studied under, among others, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
		He also became friends with Boris Asafiev[?] and Nikolai Myaskovsky[?].

		Myaskovsky is often criticised for obvious thematic development and for pat overuse of cyclical elements in his writing but as has been seen before it depends how acute the ear of the conductor.
		Myaskovsky wrote wonderfully evocatively for woodwind and there’s ample evidence in the finale.
		The recent mini proliferation of Myaskovsky on disc will gladden many a heart and here’s another reason to be content.

	Nikolai Myaskovsky
		Nikolai Myaskovsky (April 20,1881 - August 8,1950) was born near Warsaw (though moved to St. Petersburg in his teens,) and at first discouraged from a musical career -- not unusually -- and into the military, where indeed he did spend some of the years of the First World War.
		This was a mostly lost symphony, part of which was later scavenged to provide material for the slow movement of Prokofiev's fourth piano sonata.
		While Myaskovsky had many students - in addition to those listed above there were also Alexander Lokshin, Boris Chaikovskii, and Yevgeny Golubev, a teacher and prolific composer whose students included Alfred Schnittke - the degree and nature of his influence on his students is difficult to measure.

		The symphony, which is the longest of Myaskovsky’s 27, moves at a high level of inspiration, contains some of his most poetic music - the heartbreaking flute passage heard during the trio section of the scherzo second movement.
		It must, however, be remembered that Ikonikov’s biography, written with the cooperation of Myaskovsky, was published during the Stalinist era when creative artists had to be very guarded in conforming to politically correct explanations for their work.
		Whether Myaskovsky’s Sixth Symphony relates to the events of the Russian Revolution, personal tragedy in the composer’s life, the betrayal of political idealism during the "Red Terror" or none of these, it remains a great, sprawling heroic epic.

		Some more information about him: Myaskovsky's pupil, he graduated in 1944 and worked as assistant; he's a Jew; the man is extremely seriously ill (he lives with only a tiny piece of his stomach...) but his attitude to his illness is courageous and cheerful, which is just what should attract attention to him...
		It was just the realization of Nikolai Yakovlevich being present in the world, in our musical life, and it was a comfort and joy to know and to feel him being out there.

		XXII & XXIV portray Myaskovsky's anguish and that sense of resolve (and in the Twenty-Fourth, contemplation), his Quartets and piano pieces are in ways reflective, though more in an escapist mode, envisioning life in more optimistic, transparent terms.
		But the apotheosis-like coda is simply inspirational and to me among the finest in all of music (given the composer who went through a great deal of trials and tribulations).
		Four years later, Myaskovsky's Twenty-Seventh Symphony would serve as that inspirational and meaningful coda of his harsh yet ultimately influential life.

		The folk descants, with the alcoholic cheeriness of Glazunov, are chased by the hideously sobering Dies Irae.

	The Voice of Russia [MUSICAL TALES OF ST. PETERSBURG]
		At the age of 12, bowing to a family tradition, he entered a military school, then moved on to finish an army engineers’ school in St.Petersburg and entered the conservatory at the already advanced age of 25.
		Still a student, Nikolai Myaskovsky made a statement primarily as a composer of large pieces with the symphony eventually becoming the focus of his musical endeavor.
		A piano and composition major at the conservatory, Sergei Prokofyev attended the class of famous performing pianist, Anna Yesipova, and of composer Anatoly Lyadov, both of whom had a tough luck dealing with their enormously talented but overly independent and abrasive student who was always on the lookout for his own ways in music.

		Born the same year that Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto premiered (that work also on this CD), Miaskovsky was not a self-promoter, though with 27 symphonies and 13 string quartets, surely he had something to crow about.

	Prokofiev, Prisoner of the State/Part 1
		For instance, Prokofiev's fellow émigré Nikolai Nabokov recalls him in Paris "continuously repeating that the Revolution for him was an inescapable, positive event of Russia's national history, and that he did not see in it, as so many of his compatriots did at the time, a desperate and fatal calamity".
		More importantly, his wife Lina strongly wished to avoid uprooting herself in order to move to a colourless world in which makeup was derided as "the mask of the society matron" and tracking down the makings of a decent dinner required either a Party card or the patience of a saint.
		Myaskovsky, though still faithful, was toeing the Party line in every work he produced.
