His family was of Jewish descent;〔Stevens, Lewis. ''Composers of Classical Music of Jewish Descent'', Vallentine Mitchell Publ. (2003) p. 50〕 his father Zinovy Tiomkin was a "distinguished pathologist" and associate of Professor Paul Ehrlich, and later a notable Zionist leader. His mother, Marie Tartakovskaya,〔http://oxfordindex.oup.com/view/10.1093/anb/9780198606697.article.1801449〕 was a musician who began teaching the young Tiomkin piano at an early age. Her hope was to have her son become a professional pianist, according to Tiomkin biographer, Christopher Palmer.〔Palmer, Christopher. ''Dimitri Tiomkin'', T.E. Books, (1984) p. 13〕 Tiomkin described his mother as being "small, blonde, merry and vivacious."〔 He was educated at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in Russia, where he studied piano with Felix Blumenfeld, teacher of Vladimir Horowitz, and harmony and counterpoint with Alexander Glazunov, mentor to Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich.〔Robinson, Harlow. ''Russians in Hollywood, Hollywood's Russians: Biography of an Image'', Northeastern Univ. Press (2007) pp. 130-133〕 He also studied piano with Isabelle Vengerova.〔Smith, Charles D, and Richard J. Howe. The Welte-Mignon: Its Music and Musicians. Vestal, N.Y: Published by Vestal Press for the Automatic Musical Instrument Collectors' Association, 1994, p. 484.〕 In 1920, while working for the Petrograd Military District Political Administration (PUR), he was one of the lead organizers of two revolutionary mass spectacles, the "Mystery of Liberated Labor," a pseudo-religious mystery play for the May Day festivities, and "The Storming of the Winter Palace" for the celebrations of the third anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution.〔James Von Geldern, ''Bolshevik Festivals'' (Berkeley, University of California Press, 1993), 157, Katerina Clark, ''Petersburg, Crucible of Revolution'' (Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press, 1995), 135-36〕 He supported himself while living in St. Petersburg by playing piano accompaniment for numerous Russian silent films.〔 Because the revolution had diminished opportunities for classical musicians in Russia, he moved to Berlin after the Russian Revolution to live with his father.〔 In Berlin, from 1921 to 1923, he studied with the pianist Ferruccio Busoni and Busoni's disciples Egon Petri and Michael von Zadora.〔 He composed light classical and popular music, and made his performing debut as a pianist playing Franz Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Berlin Philharmonic.〔Wallace, David; Miller, Ann. ''Hollywoodland'', Macmillan, (2002) pp. 193-194〕 He moved to Paris with his roommate, Michael Khariton, to perform a piano duo repertory together, which they did before the end of 1924. 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「Dimitri Tiomkin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
