Grechaninov A. Children's Album. For Piano

Alexander Tikhonovich Grechaninov (1864–1956) is the Russian composer, bred at N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov's class. He worked at the Moscow Gnesins Music School, practising much with children's choirs. In 1925 Grechaninov left Russia. 

From 1939 he lived in New-York. His repertoire includes the operas («Dobrynya Nikitich», 1903; «Sister Beatrice», 1912; «Marriage» to N. V. Gogol, 1950), five symphonies, four sting quartets, music to drama performance («Snow-Maiden» to Ostrovsky, «Tsar Fyodar Ioannovich» and «Ioann Grozny's Death» to Tolstoy). Music for chidren (including the operas) takes the great part of Grechaninov's creation, so as his inclination for the church ecclesiastic choral compositions. 

“The Children's Album” by Grechaninov continues the tradition of Shumann and Tchaikovsky's ones. Many pieces from this album enter successfully the beginning pianast's stock.
