	Musicians - Alexander Glazunov

Alexander Konstantinovich Glazounov (or Glazunov or Glazunow) (August 10, 1865 – March 21, 1936) was a major Russian composer, as well as an influential music teacher.

Glazunov was born in St. Petersburg. He studied music under Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

The first of his 8 symphonies premiered in 1882 when Glazunov was 16 years old. His popular Stenka Razin was also a youthful work.

In 1899, Glazunov became a professor at the St. Petersburg School of Music, and later its director.

Glazunov also wrote 3 ballets.

Glazunov left Russia in 1928. He toured Europe and the United States. He died in Paris.

He came to be acknowledged as a great prodigy in his field, and with the help of his mentor and friend Rimsky-Korsakov, finished some of Alexander Borodin's great works, the most famous being the Opera Prince Igor. They also edited a very famous piece by Borodin, the Polovetsian Dances.
