S. Maykapar: Arietta in a-minor // Accordion by Darja Goldberg

I don’t know but something magical used me to this wonderful piece.. Enjoy this lovely sound. I didn’t know this composer before. ---- Samuel Moiseyevich Maykapar (born December 18 1867, Kherson, Ukraine – died May 8, 1938, Leningrad, Russia), was a famous Russian composer, scientists and pianist. Maykapar is one of the representatives of Leschetizky School. He made a great contribution to the development of musical pedagogy. Maykapar, the author of numerous works for children and young people such as Spillikins (Biryulki), Marionette Theater (Teatr marionetok), Little Novelettes (Malen’kiye novelly) and many others, played a significant role in the development of piano literature for children. In 1902 Maykapar participated actively in Moscow Science and Music Circle (Nauchno-muzykal’nyy kruzhok), directed first by S. Taneyev and later by Professor of Physiology A. Samoilov. The members of the circle were prominent Moscow musicians and scholars interested in music. Maykapar was the secretary of the circle and the organizer of all the reports. In the last years of his life, in addition to composing pieces for the instrumental ensemble, Maykapar continued to pay much attention to methodological work. He was acquainted with many outstanding musicians and was able to describe his impressions very vividly in his book The Years of Study (Gody ucheniya), published in 1938, in the year of his death.
