Nikolai Andreevich Roslavets Alexander Scriabin Schoenberg Myaskovsky Debussy Marc Andre Hamelin Tchaikovsky 1881 1902 1910 1912 1930 1944 1978
Symphony in C minor (1910) - World-Premiere Written by: Nikolai Roslavets Performed by: Students of the Royal Northern College of Music Conducted by: Stefan Rogers Nikolai Andreevich Roslavets +••.••(...)) was one of the foremost progressive composers of the early Soviet Union. Born in northern Ukraine, he began his musical studies playing violin and piano in Arkady Abaza’s music school in Kursk. In 1902, Roslavets was accepted to study at Moscow Conservatory where he quickly became well known amongst other Futurist artists, writers and musicians. The later works of Alexander Scriabin proved deeply inspirational to Roslavets at this time, prompting him to develop his own system of harmonisation based on what he called ‘synthetic chords’ which infamously allowed the use of triple flats and triple sharps. Following his graduation in 1912, Roslavets continued to develop his system of synthetic chords publishing both articles about them and musical works based on his theory. Due to the similarities between synthetic chords and Schoenberg’s 12-tone serialism, Roslavets came to be known as the Russian Schoenberg, however this title was met with opposition from fellow composers such as Myaskovsky who felt it trivialized the originality of Roslavets saying that it was like calling Schoenberg the German Debussy. Roslavets’ notoriety unfortunately made him an obvious target to the Russian Association of Proletarian Musicians during the 1920s resulting in numerous accusations of ‘formalism’ and ‘counter revolutionary activity’ being filed against him. This reached its climax in 1930 when the RAPM filed ‘The Roslavets Case’ resulting in the composer being barred from holding any official positions, and later being a member of the union of composers, as well as having to publicly apologies for his actions. Being banned from publishing music, Roslavets spent the rest of his life teaching. He was buried in an unmarked grave and upon his death in 1944 his apartment was ransacked by former members of the RAPM resulting in many of his works being either lost or destroyed. Following his death his name wasn’t mentioned in any official literature until 1978 when he was described as ‘an enemy, a composer whose music is not worth the paper it is written on, who’s tomb should be destroyed’ in a Russian music dictionary. In a more positive turn of events substantial efforts have taken place to rediscover Roslavets in recent years with newly rediscovered works being performed and recorded by famous classical artists and ensembles. A famous example of this being Marc Andre Hamelin who described Roslavets’ music as ‘Scriabin on acid’ when asked about performing his Op.14 Three Etudes. Symphony in C minor. The C minor symphony is so far the earliest orchestral work by Roslavets to have been recorded, and likewise the only complete orchestral symphony to have been recorded. As a work from the composer’s student years, it reflects a period in the composer’s life where he was searching for his own individual voice. While it still has a foot in the romantic school of Tchaikovsky there is clear exploration into the more adventurous styles of Scriabin which Roslavets was fascinated by at the time. Somewhat unusually for a symphony written in 1910, the C minor symphony is formed of only one extended movement of just over 20 minutes which follows an extended sonata form more akin to a symphonic poem. Ukraine Statement. Whilst the planning and recording of this project took place prior to the events we’ve witnessed in the Ukraine in recent weeks, this project bears a certain level of relevance to it due to Nikolai Roslavets’ close ties with both Ukraine and Russia. It would therefore feel inappropriate not to bring to attention the horrors and subsequent humanitarian crisis we have all witnessed in recent months. Below are a couple of organisations that you can donate to if you so choose, to support those effected by this war, although these are by no means all of the charities currently involved in current efforts so do look around and consider donating to other organisations if you so wish. Thanks, Stefan. British Red Cross Ukraine Appeal: (http•••) Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Appeal: (http•••)
