Ilynsky Alexander. La journée d' une petite fille, op. 19. 24 morceaux pour piano

Moscou: P. Jurgenson, 1904. — 114 p.Alexander Ilyinsky (aka Alexander Alexandrovich Il'yinsky) was a Russian composer and teacher of the late-Romantic era whose music was heavily influenced by the nationalist Romantics Borodin, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov. Born in Tsarskoye Selo in 1859, he studied in Berlin at the Neue Akademie de Tonkunst, where his teachers included Woldemar Bargiel for composition and Theodor Kullak for piano. He graduated from the St. Petersburg Conservatory in 1885 and joined the faculty of the music and drama school of the Moscow Philharmonic Society that same year. He became a professor 11 years later, and joined the Moscow Conservatory in 1905 as a professor of theory, history, and composition.None of Ilyinsky's compositions retained popularity after his death -- not even enough to be recorded by the Soviet government-run Melodiya label) -- and none was extant in the repertory at the midpoint of the twentieth century.
