Full biography Samuil Feinberg
Samuil Feinberg (born May 26, 1890, in Odessa, Russia - died October 22, 1962, in Moscow) was a Russian composer, pianist, and teacher who specialized in the performance of Bach's music. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Alexander Goldenweiser and Sergei Taneyev, and later became a professor of piano at the same institution.
Feinberg was considered one of the finest pianists of his time, with a particular talent for playing the works of Bach. He was also a highly regarded composer, although his music is not as well-known as that of many of his contemporaries. His compositions are characterized by their complexity and intellectual depth, and often make use of unusual rhythms and harmonies.
Feinberg's works include piano sonatas, string quartets, and orchestral pieces. He was also a prolific writer on musical topics, publishing articles and essays on a wide range of subjects related to performance and composition.
Despite his many accomplishments, Feinberg was largely forgotten after his death, and it was only in recent years that his music has begun to receive renewed attention. Today, he is recognized as an important composer and performer, and his works are increasingly being performed and recorded.
