FAQ Composers Alfred Schnittke Born: Died: Alfred Schnittke was born on 24 November 1934 in Engels, on the Volga River, in the Soviet Union. His father was born in Frankfurt to a Jewish family of Russian origin who had moved to the USSR in 1926, and his mother was a Volga-German born in Russia. Schnittke began his musical education in 1946 in Vienna where his father, a journalist and translator, had been posted. In 1948 the family moved to Moscow, where Schnittke studied piano and received a diploma in choral conducting. From 1953 to 1958 he studied counterpoint and composition with Yevgeny Golubev and instrumentation with Nikolai Rakov at the Moscow Conservatory. Schnittke completed the postgraduate course in composition there in 1961 and joined the Union of Composers the same year. He was particularly encouraged by Phillip Herschkowitz, a Webern disciple, who resided in the Soviet capital. In 1962, Schnittke was appointed instructor in instrumentation at the Moscow Conservatory, a post which he held until 1972. Thereafter he supported himself chiefly as a composer of film scores; by 1984 he had scored more than 60 films.

9. Music Under Soviet Rule: Schnittke Book This pioneering booklength study of alfred schnittke offers much factual background which will be new even to ardent Western enthusiasts of the composer. http://www.siue.edu/~aho/musov/review/schnitrev.html

Alfred Schnittke by Alexander Ivashkin Phaidon 20th Century Composers, 1996 Under the editorship of Norman Lebrecht, Phaidon's series of through-illustrated introductions to 20th century composers has proved visually elegant, refreshingly unstuffy, and useful in providing basic biographical material. This pioneering book-length study of Alfred Schnittke offers much factual background which will be new even to ardent Western enthusiasts of the composer. In doing so, it also tells a story of interest both to the converted and to those more sceptical of Schnittke's worth. Ivashkin acknowledges the negative responses Schnittke's music has evoked in the West, but treats them as the self-evidently unenlightened grumbling of reactionaries soon to be left behind by history. Indeed, so sure is he of his hero's Christ-like irreproachability that detractors appear in these pages in an almost demonic light: There is a lack of irony in this passage - a cultish earnestness - which not only sits uneasily alongside references to Shostakovich but fails to square with the apparent irony of much of Schnittke's work in the 1970s (before his health began to fail and his outlook apparently became shadowed by an obsessive awareness of mortality). The misapprehension that everything in art is normal and nature is still producing its usual supply of geniuses is not exclusive to Russia, of course - but the passionate Russian need for something to believe in often overrides the cynical Russian gift for perceiving that the emperor has no clothes, and such is arguably happening here.

trovar.com Alfred Schnittke on Richter Svyatoslav Richter For people of my generation Svyatoslav Richter looms as a lofty peak where live music merges with its history. No matter how often you tell yourself that he is our contemporary, that you can see and hear him - you fail to realize it, because for decades he has been occupying a place of honour along such men as Chopin, Paganini, Liszt, Rachmaninov and Chaliapin, constituting a living link between the present time and eternity. For nearly half a century this man - outwardly self-contained and seemingly inaccessible - has been the centre of Moscow's musical life as performer, sponsor of festivals, the first to notice and assist talented young musicians and artists, the connoisseur of literature, the theatre and the cinema, the collector of paintings, the familiar figure at art exhibitions and himself a painter and a stage director. When he conceives the idea of holding a cycle of concerts on a particular subject, an art festival or an informal recital, his fiery temperament surmounts all and every obstacle in his way. His self-criticism is proverbial: after a wonderful appearance arousing the enthusiastic acclaim of public and press, and inspiring scholarly investigations, he would torture himself for a minute slip which he alone has noticed. There is nothing strange in this attitude, nor does it mean a desire to show off - Richter approaches musical performance with a standard all his own, for he alone knows the original concept and he alone can therefore estimate the degree to which it has been realized. We do not know what perfection haunts his inner ear and can consequently form no conception of what might be the ideal performance as he sees it. We can but feel grateful for the part of his idea that he has succeeded in carrying over, since it exceeds by far anything that we are able to imagine.

Home page Composers - Alfred Schnittke Alfred Schnittke Biography The reason for Alfred Schnittke’s prominent position among contemporary composers is threefold: his abundant oeuvre, the great popularity enjoyed by his works and the thrilling emotionality of his music. When looking for explanations for this music’s popularity, one should bear several points in mind: Alfred Schnittke is no avant-gardist, if one takes this term to mean an artist whose chief concern is experimentation with sound. Instead, he offers the listener bridges towards comprehension, above all to the listener who believes to perceive familiar material in his music. Schnittke’s language is understood by countless people throughout the world because his music contains a high emotional potential and because it is expressive, suggestive and associative. The feeling of homelessness is more widespread in these unsettled times than in any other previous period. Schnittke shared the fate of those people belonging to several national groups and yet not fully belonging to any of them. His father was a German Jew, his mother a Volga German. He grew up in the Soviet Union. Already as a young man he felt like a stranger in his homeland. Later on, he began to feel like a cosmopolitan, like a person without national boundaries. Yet he still felt foreign in several respects: as a German, as a Jew and as one who came from the Soviet Union. This reminds us of Gustav Mahler, who also believed himself to be thrice homeless. Schnittke’s music, however, has nothing to do with any cosmopolitan way of thinking or sentiments. It is based upon solid pillars of Russian and German musical traditions. The confrontation with Alexander Skryabin, Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich, to name only these four great Russians, was important in his artistic development. On the other hand, he felt closely bound to the German musical tradition. For him, Johann Sebastian Bach was the alpha and omega of music. He loved the music of Gustav Mahler and Alban Berg, surely because of their highly expressive quality. And for a time, he never tired of studying Anton Webern's music.

Alfred SCHNITTKE In one respect, the BBC's retrospective Seeking the Soul: The Music of Alfred Schnittke came too late. The composer died in August 1998, having endured a series of strokes during the preceding 13 years that finally silenced his creativity. In all other respects, the beginning of the new millennium is an ideal time to explore the music of one often been referred to as the last great twentieth-century composer. No one who attended even a proportion of the BBC's weekend's concerts, talks and films could come away without a sense of Schnittke's legacy, and what it might represent as a cultural touchstone for the future. In addition, students at the Guildhall School had been exploring the composer in depth throughout the week in sessions open to the public, and they also played some of Schnittke's music at pre-concert events in the Barbican foyer. It is doubtful whether any comparable survey in breadth and depth has taken place before? The valuable programme book has an introduction by cellist Professor Alexander Ivashkin, Schnittke's biographer (Phaidon Press) and curator of the Schnittke Archive at the Centre for Russian Music, Goldsmiths College, from which the many of the numerous photos of the composer were supplied. Like so many Soviet composers of the 1930s generation, Schnittke passed through his formative years with scant knowledge of post-war developments in the West. Most of his pre-1963 music he later disowned, though the First Violin Concerto of 1957, closely modelled on that by Shostakovich with an accommodating nod towards Khachaturian, has been revived by such as Mark Lubotsky and Gidon Kremer, and would have been welcome as a counterweight to the numerous concertos written during Schnittke's creative apex of the late 1970s and '80s.
