Glazounov, Alexander. (1865-1936). Signed Photograph with AMQS. A superb 3.5 X 5 inch signed photograph of the important Russian composer, with a three-measure autograph musical quotation from an unidentified work, and inscribed "To Mr. David Eisler, first violin at Boston Symphony Orchestra in remembrance of Alex. Glazunov, 18/1 1930." 12.5 X 8.5 cms.
A student of Rimsky-Korsakov, the first of his nine symphonies premiered when Glazounov was only 16 years old, and due in part to the advocacy of Franz Liszt, his work soon became well known in Russia and abroad. He was an important pedagogue, professor and later Director at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Two years before the signing of this photograph, he left Russia to tour Europe and the United States as a conductor, and eventually settled in Paris. Musical quotations and signed photograph of Glazounov are rather uncommon.
