Alexander Uninsky (; (ロシア語:Александр Юнинский, ''Aleksandr Yuninskij'', pronounced ''You-nin-skee''); Kyiv, Dallas, 19 December 1972) was an American classical pianist of Ukrainian origin. ==Life and career== Alexander Uninsky was born in Kyiv (then in the Russian Empire, now in Ukraine). He initially studied piano there in the conservatory which had been opened in 1913, and whose other graduates included Vladimir Horowitz and Alexander Brailowsky.〔(Grigory Kogan )〕 He subsequently moved to Paris in 1923, where he studied with Lazare Lévy. He was awarded the conservatory's first prize for piano. In 1932 he won the second International Frédéric Chopin Piano Competition.〔(Andrzej Jasinski ''Special message from Warsaw''. Undated, Chopin Foundation of the United States )〕 In fact, Uninsky tied for first place with the blind Hungarian pianist Imre Ungar, and the judges decided to award victory on the basis of the toss of a coin. Ungar lost. In 1955, he took up a teaching post at the Toronto Conservatory of Music, where he numbered among his pupils the Canadian composer Bruce Mather. Mather commemorated his teacher in his 1974 composition ''In memoriam Alexander Uninsky''〔(Bruce Mather's web page )〕 Subsequently he taught at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. His pupils included Jeffrey Swann, David Morgan, Carmen Alvarez, Boaz Heilman, Henry Doskey, David Golub and Dubravka Tomšič Srebotnjak. He died in Dallas in 1972, aged 62. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Uninsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
