Aro Stepanyan - 8 Preludes

Mikael Ayrapetyan - Piano Aro Stepanyan (haro stepanian) was born in the year of Brahms’s death in Yelizabetpol—now Ganja, in western Azerbaijan. Stepanyan trained in Moscow, at the Gnessin Music College, from 1923–26, where his fellow pupils included Aram Khachaturian (1903–1978). He subsequently joined the composition class of Vladimir Shcherbachov at the State Conservatory in Leningrad (St Petersburg), where his Armenian heritage did not go unnoticed: Shcherbachov wrote that he was ‘a composer of undoubted talent with the features of Armenian colouring.’ Please support me for the work so this keeps going and i can keep on my favourite activity.
