Juon Paul. Sonatine für Klavier Op. 47

Berlin: Schlesinger'sche Buch & Musikhandlung, 1911. — 16 S.Paul Juon was born in Moscow; his father was the son of a Swiss émigré, and Paul was educated in a German school in Moscow before entering the Imperial Conservatory there to study violin and composition. He studied composition with Anton Arensky and Sergey Taneyev, both of whose styles had been strongly influenced by Tchaikovsky. He continued his studies at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin with Woldemar Bargiel—Clara Schumann’s half-brother—providing Juon with a direct link to the German Romantic style of Mendelssohn and Schumann.
