Alexander Sklarevski, the Musical Dictionary<p>

Alexander Fedorovich Sklarevski (1882-1963) was a concert
pianist who fled Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution.
Travelling east by train across Siberia to Vladivostok, a grueling
five-week journey, he had with him a few treasured possessions,
including a small group of Russian works of art, represented
here.<p>

Graduating in 1908, Sklarevski received the first of many gold
medals from the Imperial Conservatory of Music in St.
Petersburg. He later became Director of the Third Imperial
Conservatory of Saratov. For decades and to great acclaim,
Sklarevski played in concert halls around the world, from Harbin,
Shanghai and Tokyo to Paris, Washington and New York. Dubbed
?the musical dictionary? by his students, he could perform up to
350 compositions from memory. In 1923, he joined the faculty
of the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore where he remained a
professor for 30 years.
