The N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov Saint Petersburg State Conservatory ((ロシア語:Санкт-Петербургская государственная консерватория имени Н. А. Римского-Корсакова)) is a music school in Saint Petersburg. In 2004, the conservatory had around 275 faculty members and 1,400 students. ==History== The conservatory was founded in 1862 by the Russian pianist and composer Anton Rubinstein. On his resignation in 1867, he was succeeded by Nikolai Zaremba. Rimsky-Korsakov was appointed in 1871 and the conservatory has borne his name since 1944. In 1887, Rubinstein returned to the Conservatory with the goal of improving overall standards. He revised the curriculum, expelled inferior students, fired and demoted many professors, and made entrance and examination requirements more stringent. In 1891, he resigned again over the Imperial demand of racial quotas. The current building was erected in the 1890s on the site of the old Bolshoi Theatre of Saint Petersburg and still preserves its grand staircase and landing. As the city changed its name in the 20th century, the conservatory was duly renamed ''Petrograd Conservatory'' (Петроградская консерватория) and ''Leningrad Conservatory'' (Ленинградская консерватория). The school alumni have included such notable composers as Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Sergei Prokofiev, Artur Kapp, and Rudolf Tobias and Dmitri Shostakovich, who taught at the conservatory during the 1960s, bringing it additional fame. Amongst his pupils were German Okunev and Boris Tishchenko. The youngest musician ever admitted to the Conservatory was five-year-old violinist Clara Rockmore, who later became one of the world's foremost theremin players. 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「Saint Petersburg Conservatory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
