Vladislav Solotarëv was a Russian composer who lived from 1907 to 1953. He was born in the city of Moscow, where he spent most of his life. Solotarëv was born into a family of musicians, and his father was a well-known conductor and composer. From a young age, Solotarëv showed a great interest in music, and he began studying piano and composition at a very young age. Solotarëv's early years were marked by a great deal of success. He won several awards for his compositions, and he was recognized as one of the most promising young composers of his generation. In 1925, he entered the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied composition with Nikolai Myaskovsky, one of the most important Russian composers of the time. During his time at the Moscow Conservatory, Solotarëv continued to develop his skills as a composer. He wrote several works for orchestra, including his Symphony No. 1, which was premiered in 1929. This work was well-received by audiences and critics alike, and it established Solotarëv as a major figure in the world of classical music. In the years that followed, Solotarëv continued to compose prolifically. He wrote several more symphonies, as well as numerous works for chamber ensembles and solo instruments. His music was characterized by its emotional intensity and its use of traditional Russian folk melodies. One of Solotarëv's most famous works is his Piano Concerto No. 1, which was premiered in 1933. This work is notable for its virtuosic piano writing and its use of Russian folk melodies. It has since become a staple of the piano concerto repertoire and is widely regarded as one of Solotarëv's greatest works. Solotarëv's career was cut short by his untimely death in 1953.
