==Biography== Semyon (Semion) Snitkovsky (Russian: Семён Снитковский) was born in Odessa, USSR on August 9, 1933. His formal music education began in 1940 at the famous music school named after P.S. Stolyarsky, class of violin. An ensuing hiatus, brought on by the World War II, is ended when Semyon is accepted into the class of V. Z. Mordkovich, the outstanding violin pedagogue who was later to become a professor at the Odessa Conservatory. After three years of study, Semyon performed his first solo concert and, in 1951, he began his education at the Odessa Conservatory again with Professor Mordkovich. The five years spent at the Conservatory were the years when Semyon initiated his professional career with acknowledgement of his talent. In the early fifties, Snitkovsky was hired as a soloist with the Odessa Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1956, after his performance at the recital of the best graduates of Ukraine music colleges, Semyon became a soloist of the Philharmonic and a teacher at the Lvov Conservatory. In 1957 Semyon was accepted to the Moscow Conservatory as a postgraduate, class of David Oistrakh. Almost immediately he became maestro assistant and years later – a doctor and full professor at the primary Conservatory of the Soviet Union. In 1957, Semyon became a laureate of the All-Union competition, afterwards winning a bronze medal at the World Festival of Youth and Students in Moscow. In 1958 he performed brilliantly at his first international competition of the young performers in Bucharest – within the framework of the International Festival named after Romanian musician, George Enescu. This particular violin competition brought Snitkovsky a first prize, shared with Romanian violin player, Stephan Ruha. At the same time, Snitkovsky, along with talented pianist O. Stupakova, won the second prize for the best performance of the very difficult Enesco’s Third Sonata for violin and piano. In Brussels, in 1963, Snitkovsky received a second place award at the prestigious and challenging violin competition named after Queen Elizabeth. After the competition the newspaper "Le Soir" wrote: "Snitkovsky brings to the composer’s concept a soaring luminosity ...a technical aspect making a brilliant impression". In 1967, the International Foundation of Eugene Ysaye in Belgium awarded Snitkovsky a gold medal – an honor bestowed only once every five years. In 1981, fatal disease took the life of Snitkovsky who, at the age of 47, was at the height of his creative abilities. 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「Semyon Snitkovsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
