Veprik 1899 1930 1943 1950 1954 1958 2022
Phillip Sear plays the second piece from a 1930 'Children's Album by the Ukrainian-Jewish composer and teacher Aleksandr Veprik +••.••(...)). / Veprik was born in Balta, in the Odesa district of Ukraine, but grew up in Warsaw, and studied at the Leipzig Conservatory. His family moved to Russia at the beginning of the First World War, and Veprik continued his musical education at the Moscow Conservatory, where he later taught. He was active in promoting Jewish music in Russia and further afield, and his works were played in Germany, the USA and elsewhere in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1950 he fell foul of Stalin's regime and was arrested and sent to the Gulag as a 'Jewish nationalist'. He was released in 1954 and, weakened by this experience, spent his remaining days in Moscow. He wrote operas, symphonies, and works in many other genres, including two Ukrainian songs (1943). Although designated a children's album, the gritty musical language (reminiscent of Bartok) and large chords in the pieces of this set suggest that maybe they were intended to educate children in contemporary musical idioms. The pioneers of the title are Soviet 'Young Pioneers' a now-defunct youth movement. As of May 2022 state-organized youth movements are being revived in Russia.

Arr. pour piano et hautbois "The composer and music teacher Aleksandr Moiseyevich Weprik (Александр Моисеевич Веприк ) was born in 1899 in Balta, Ukraine. He grew up in Warsaw and studied piano with Karl Wendling at the Leipzig Conservatory. At the onset of World War I, the family returned to Russia. Veprik studied composition with Alexander Zhitomirsky +••.••(...)) in the Saint Petersburg Conservatory +••.••(...)) and Nikolai Myaskovsky at the Moscow Conservatory +••.••(...)). Veprik was active in the musical life of 1920--1930s. In 1923 he was active in the creation of the Society for Jewish Music. He taught at the Moscow Conservatory +••.••(...); professor from 1930; dean from 1938). In 1927 during a business trip in Austria, Germany and France, he met Arnold Schoenberg, Paul Hindemith, Maurice Ravel and Arthur Honegger. His music became well known in Europe and the United States during this time: nearly his entire oeuvre was performed by the Berlin Radio Symphony +••.••(...)). In March 1933 Arturo Toscanini conducted Veprik's Dances and Songs of the Ghetto at Carnegie Hall in New York. Veprik was arrested as a "Jewish nationalist" in 1950, maltreated in prison and then deported to the Gulag. He was released from hard labor and instead had to organize an amateur orchestra among the prisoners. In April 1954, Vepryk's case was reviewed and he was acquitted. In September 1954 he returned sick and weary to Moscow, where he composed a few works and wrote Principles of J.S. Bach's Orchestration (Принципы оркестровки И.-С. Баха). He died on 13 October 1958 in Moscow." From Wikipédia Fabian Menzel: oboe Bernahard Endres: piano
