  • ALEXANDER TCHEREPNIN and HIS STUDENTS STEPHEN GOSLING, Pianist
    ALEXANDER TCHEREPNIN Born in St. Petersburg in 1899, Alexander Tcherepnin became a true musical citizen of the world. With the cen- ter of his career shifting from Tbilisi and the Caucasus to Paris and central Europe, from Shanghai and Tokyo to Brussels and back to Paris, and ultimately from Chicago and New York to London and Zurich, he left an indeli- ble influence, transcending barriers of nationality and generation. Tcherepnin’s gifts were hereditary. His father Nicholas Tcherepnin had composed impressionistic ballets that won the Diaghilev troupe its first Western successes. When the nineteen-year-old Alexander belatedly be- gan formal conservatory studies of musical theory, he had already written some two hundred piano pieces, many with modernistic traits inspired by his father’s star pupil Sergei Prokofiev. Young Tcherepnin brought these to Tbilisi, where the family relocated during the revolutionary turmoil of 1918, often performing them in recital (several dozen of these early efforts became best-sellers when published in Paris after he settled there in 1921). In Georgia, Alexander began composing on synthetic scales derived from the “major-minor triad” (C-Eb-E-G). Nikolai had explored the eight-step “octotonic” scale, which regularly alternates half-steps and whole-steps; Alexander went his father one better: by 1922 he was developing a vocabulary of ear-catching sounds from his own symmetrical nine-step scale (C-Db-Eb-E-F-G-Ab-A-B-C—the interval pattern is half-whole-half; half-whole-half; half-whole-half). Further experiments during final studies at the Paris Conser- vatoire yielded an approach called “Interpoint,” meant to convey complex rhythmic information with maximum clarity, and to keep the various musical registers separate in the ear.

  • Nikolai Tcherepnin UNDER the CANOPY of MY LIFE Artistic, Creative, Musical Pedagogy, Public and Private
    Nikolai Tcherepnin UNDER THE CANOPY OF MY LIFE Artistic, creative, musical pedagogy, public and private Translated by John Ranck But1 you are getting old, pick Flowers, growing on the graves And with them renew your heart. Nekrasov2 And ethereally brightening-within-me Beloved shadows arose in the Argentine mist Balmont3 The Tcherepnins are from the vicinity of Izborsk, an ancient Russian town in the Pskov province. If I remember correctly, my aged aunts lived on an estate there which had been passed down to them by their fathers and grandfathers. Our lineage is not of the old aristocracy, and judging by excerpts from the book of Records of the Nobility of the Pskov province, the first mention of the family appears only in the early 19th century. I was born on May 3, 1873 in St. Petersburg. My father, a doctor, was lively and very gifted. His large practice drew from all social strata and included literary luminaries with whom he collaborated as medical consultant for the gazette, “The Voice” that was published by Kraevsky.4 Some of the leading writers and poets of the day were among its editors. It was my father’s sorrowful duty to serve as Dostoevsky’s doctor during the writer’s last illness. Social activities also played a large role in my father’s life. He was an active participant in various medical societies and frequently served as chairman. He also counted among his patients several leading musical and theatrical figures. My father was introduced to the “Mussorgsky cult” at the hospitable “Tuesdays” that were hosted by his colleague, Dr.

In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23” black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm.
