Sergey Liapunov

A pupil of Tchaikovsky in Moscow, Sergei Mikhaylovich Liapunov later moved to St Petersburg, where he came under the direct influence of Balakirev, the dictatorial leader of the Russian nationalist Mighty Handful (or The Five). He later taught at the Conservatory, but left Russia after the Revolution, teaching in Paris until his death in 1924.

Piano Music

Liapunov wrote extensively for the piano, with an impressive set of Twelve Pieces completed in 1905 and a number of character pieces in which his interest in Russian folksong is often apparent.
