Nikolay Alexandrovich Sokolov ((ロシア語:Никола́й Алекса́ндрович Соколо́в); 27 March 1922) was a Russian composer of classical music and a member of the circle that grew around the publisher Mitrofan Belyayev. ==Career== Sokolov was born in Saint Petersburg in 1859. A student of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, he taught Alexander Tcherepnin, Dmitri Shostakovich and Yuri Shaporin at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. He was the posthumous dedicatee of Shostakovich's ''Theme and Variations in B-flat major for orchestra'', Op. 3.〔Fay, ''Shostakovich: A Life'', p.19〕 Sokolov's recorded works include his contributions to several collaborative projects of the "Belyayev circle", including the set of character pieces for string quartet known as ''Les Vendredis'' as well as a set of variations for piano and orchestra on a Russian theme. Other works include a Quintet, Op. 3, also arranged for string orchestra as a serenade; final chorus from Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy's ''Don Juan'', Op. 5; choruses for women's voices, Op. 12 (published 1892); piano variations, Op. 25; Variations on a popular Russian theme for string quartet (published 1899). There are also three string quartets, in F major, A major and D minor, and a string trio in D minor, his Op. 45 (published in 1916). All of these were published by Belyayev's firm. It is possible that, when Sergei Diaghilev was looking for a composer for ''The Firebird'', Sokolov was considered before Igor Stravinsky was settled on.〔Taruskin, ''Stravinsky and the Russian Traditions: A Biography of the Works Through Mavra'', p.579〕〔Walsh, ''Stravinsky: A Creative Spring: Russia and France, 1882-1934'', unspecified page〕 He died in Petrograd in 1922, aged 63. 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「Nikolay Sokolov (composer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
