Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution,
travelling East by train across Siberia to
Vladivostok. As a graduate in 1908, he
received the first of many gold medals from
the St. Petersburg Imperial Conservatory of
Music, and was later elected Director of the
Third Imperial Conservatory of Saratov. For
decades Sklarevski performed recitals around
the world to great acclaim. In 1923, he joined
the faculty of the Peabody Conservatory in
Baltimore where he remained a professor for
30 years.
