Alexandr Kobylianskii

Post by jemiller226 »

This isn't going to be easy. Kobylianskii (or Kobyliansky in some places) was a little known composer in pre-Bolshevik Russia. It seems he wrote a sonata and passed into obscurity around the time of the Revolution according to this PDF. In all likelihood, he died before 1960, but I don't know if we'll ever prove it. What do we do in these situations?

Pierre beat me to it by one minute!! :lol:

We always translate the Russian "Alexander" as "Aleksandr", so his IMSLP name would be "Kobylyansky, Aleksandr".

Any works first published before 1923 will be fine to upload.

@Davydov: :D

Not to be confused − maybe the same family?

Well that Aleksey is 25 years older than our Aleksandr, and although they share a patronymic they're unlikely to be brothers (and for the same reason they couldn't have been father and son either). The surname is more common than you might think in Russia :)

Argh! I tried every transliteration I could think of, but Kobylyansky wasn't one of them. I suppose that's the problem when you learn the Cyrillic alphabet by researching Russian hockey jerseys. :D Thanks, guys!

I thought this also!
BTW, it seems that some sites like ru.wikipedia are attributing Aleksey's grave to Aleksandr...

Greetings from a public library in Northern Michigan! If the composer in question died in 1942, he is not eligible for GATT/TRIPS restoration in the USA due to the works being public domain in the country of origin. This also means that they might be free in the EU due to "rule of the shorter term" for non-EU works - though, as with US works, there could be bilateral treaties in force which trump the EU directive.

Thanks, Carolus. This is why you should never, ever, take a vacation, as you can see what happens when you do :) :)
