Description
Variations on a Belarusian song by Uladzimir Teraŭski for piano.
Year of composition 2022. First performance 14th September 2023 by Kirill Kozlowski at the Sibelius Academy Concert Hall, Helsinki, Finland.
Uladzimir Teraŭski (1871-1938) was a Belarusian composer, choirmaster and a victim of Stalin’s purges. He wrote music to a number of popular Belarusian songs such as Vajacki Marš and Kupalinka. On the waive of the Belarusian national revival of the early 20th century, Teraŭski became a leading figure on the fledgling Belarusian music scene and is regarded as one of the founders of the national music school. After the defeat of the Belarusian national movement, Teraŭski was arrested by the Cheka and sentenced to death. However the sentence was commuted to 5 years’ imprisonment and he was released earlier, in 1923. Teraŭski was arrested again in August 1938 and in November sentenced to death by an NKVD troika as a “Polish intelligence agent”. He was executed on 10 November 1938 in the Minsk NKVD prison. The NKVD operatives ransacked his personal archive, which contained a large collection of Belarusian songs.
This composition for piano is variations on the perhaps most well-known song by Teraŭski.
