Parlem de Pintura...
Konstantin Jegorowitsch Makowski [Константин Егорович Маковский] (Moscou, 20 de juny de 1839 - Petrograd, 17 de setembre de 1915) va ser un pintor rus. El 1851 va entrar a l'Escola de Pintura, Escultura i Arquitectura de Moscou. El 1858 es va matricular a l'Acadèmia de Belles Arts de Sant Petersburg. L'any 1873 va pintar el famós quadre "Els nens que fugen de la tempesta". Més tard va viatjar a Egipte i Sèrbia. El resultat d'aquestes visites van ser pintures com "Els màrtirs búlgars" que va rebre el reconeixement internacional. A principis del 1880 es va inclinar pel retrat, convertint-se en un dels retratistes de moda a Rússia. Més tard va organitzar exposicions personals de les seves pintures. A l'Exposició Universal de París del 1889, va rebre una medalla d'or per les seves obres "La mort d'Ivan el Terrible", "Demon i Tamara" i "El Judici de París". Va morir a Petrograd el setembre de 1915.

Parlem de Música...
Sergei Ivanovich Tanéyev (Vladímir, 25 de novembre de 1856 - Diudkovo, 19 de juny de 1915) va ser un compositor, pianista i pedagog rus. Va ser un brillant alumne que va obtenir la medalla d'or en el Conservatori de Moscou, tenint com a mestres a Txaikovski i a Nicolai Rubinstein, aquest últim fundador del Conservatori. Va tenir una agitada vida cultural i social, ja que va contactar a París amb els escriptors Iván Turgénev i Gustave Flaubert, i amb els compositors César Franck i Camille Saint-Saëns. De tornada a Rússia va exercir la pedagogia fins el 1905, tenint com a alumnes a Scriabin, Rakhmàninov, Glière i Medtner. Va viure una temporada (els estius de 1895 i 1896), a la casa de l'escriptor Lev Tolstoi, on va travar una relació massa íntima amb la seva esposa. Aquesta relació va quedar plasmada per Tolstoi en la seva novel·la La Sonata Kreutzer. Entre les seves composicions destaquen, nou quartets de corda, un quintet amb piano, dos quintets de corda, obres de cambra, quatre simfonies (una d'elles incompleta), un conjunt concertant per a violí, un concert per a piano, i dues cantates, "Sant Joan de Damasc o Un Rèquiem Rus"op. 1 i "A la lectura del salm" op. 36. El compositor Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, que va ser el seu gran admirador, li va confiar l'estrena dels seus dos primers concerts per a piano. En els seus últims anys va tenir problemes amb l'alcohol, morint de pneumònia el juny de 1915 a Diudkovo, una ciutat propera a Moscou, i poc després d'assistir al funeral del seu alumne Alexander Scriabin.

[My approach] means that not one number is written in its final form until the outline of the whole work is prepared. It is written, you might say, concentrically, not by composing the whole out of the separate, successive parts, but by going from the whole to the details: from the opera to the acts, from the acts to the scenes, from the scenes to the separate numbers … Thus one may perceive the most important points in the drama on which the attention of the composer must be most concentrated, determine the length of scenes and numbers according to their importance, plan the modulatory scheme of the acts, define the orchestral sounds, and such like.Accordingly, his scores are among the most orderly and polished in Russian music. His inclination to contrapuntal techniques and his studies of the great contrapuntists of the past fortified his skill, resulting in textures which, however complex, are always engineered with precision and polish. He often used contrapuntal procedures as an enrichment of his harmonic palette, and despite the lack of individuality in his melodic fund, his skill in building melodic paragraphs and in devising interesting phrase structures is admirable. In an early work like the Canzona for clarinet and strings (1883) the lyricism and waltz proclivities of his teacher Tchaikovsky are clearly reflected, but his style was to develop a more broadly based eclecticism which ultimately achieved an illusion of individuality through its constant capacity to avoid commitment to the style of any one composer, however close certain passages may be to the sound worlds of masters like Tchaikovsky and Brahms (whose music, however, he claimed to dislike).
The fastidiousness of his craftsmanship is evident in his songs, many of which are admirable compositions, but his gifts are seen to better advantage in his accomplished handling of large-scale forms, particularly in his fluent sonata structures, as in the first movement of his C minor Symphony (1898), usually considered his finest instrumental work. The slow movement is also an impressive piece, revealing a warm lyricism deployed on an impressive scale, while the scherzo shows his capacity for delightful, if restrained, capriciousness. It was natural that a composer of Taneyev’s leanings should be drawn increasingly to chamber music. Nor is it surprising that one who thrived on counterpoint should wish to augment the linear resources of the string quartet, and to write, besides six numbered quartets, three string quintets. The first of these (1901, revised 1903) is typical of his chamber music, opening with a vast sonata structure which exhibits a thoroughly Germanic handling of thematic and tonal mechanisms. Despite that, his penchant for contrapuntal thinking is revealed in the constant thematic interactions of the first movement, and even more explicitly in the variation finale, which concludes with a parade of contrapuntal expertise in a fugue on three subjects. His contrapuntalism reached its apogee in his last work, the choral-orchestral At the Reading of a Psalm, a cantata which some regard as his masterpiece.
But his most ambitious work was The Oresteia, which, despite the retention of the original designation ‘trilogy’, is in fact an opera in three acts. Its subject suggests his antipathy both to the graphic realism and to the fairy-tale fantasy that dominated contemporary Russian opera, and though it has the stage-picture manner typical of the Russian tradition, this comes less from commitment to the principles that guided Glinka or Musorgsky than from his lack of interest in the events of the plot (significantly, for instance, the offstage murders of Aegisthus and Clytemnestra have no effect upon the musical flow), which are purely incidental to the broader themes of fate, revenge and expiation that are the fundamentals of Aeschylus’s drama. Taneyev employed musical styles and dramatic conventions deriving from French grand opera, but overlaid these with an epic vein which makes his loftier musical intentions clear. The care with which he composed the piece is reflected in the final result, which is a splendidly efficient score. Nevertheless, the conventional character and inequality of his musical invention causes the achievement to fall short of the intent. Taneyev had none of Tchaikovsky’s gift for full-blooded melody, and his lyrical passages sound like his master’s at their weakest; nor had he any trace of Musorgsky’s ability to capture a character or action within an unforgettable musical invention. His music envelops the tale in a noble aura instead of illuminating it by uncovering the souls and feelings of human beings caught in a train of events which is their destiny. In The Oresteia he was usually at his best when composing a passage in which his resourcefulness as a composer was exercised (as in some of the chromatic sections which avoid stock progressions and combinations), or when the dramatic situation demanded the construction of a large musical span. On such occasions he sometimes produced music that has real distinctiveness.
