He lived in Warsaw, Moscow, and Saint Petersburg, then finally settled in Orenburg in 1920, where he began his most significant work. He worked as an ethnographer, collector, researcher on Kazakh folk music, and recorded about 3,000 instrumental melodies. He contributed to the Warsaw Diary which published music critiques and analyses. He wrote over 2,300 pieces of Kazakh folk music, of which 1,500 were published in two volumes during his life. He was the first to create a categorization system for Kazakh music, including genres such as historic, comedic, and legendary. In 1896, he was the dedicatee of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Six moments musicaux. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - A method to find scores: - My donation link to keep the channel growing: Thanks for listening :-)
