Samuil Feinberg



Russian composer Samuil Feinberg (1890 -1962).
He is known as a first-rate Russian pianist and teacher, but has unjustly fallen into oblivion as a composer. He wrote numerous works, principally for piano and for voice, and his oeuvre can be divided into two parts according to his stylistic development as a composer. In the works from the period 1910-1933, we can observe an increasingly rich and virtuoso style of writing, very chromatic, often violent and rich in contrasts, but sometimes imbued with a 'symbolist' fragility that owes something to the influence of Scriabin. Then, from 1934 until his death in 1962, Feinberg moved progressively towards greater simplicity, towards a diatonic style and a preponderance of melody - somewhat reminiscent of the development of Prokofiev or of Myaskovsky.
