Russian composer and music critic. He received basic musical education from an early age, but graduated from the St. Petersburg Military Engineering School. In 1856, he met Balakirev, the theorist of the "Five", and began his musical career, but at the same time served as a professor at his alma mater. As a French-Lithuanian, his style of composition differs from that of other "Five" composers such as Mussorgsky, who had strong ethnic influences. His ten operas, including "William Ratcliffe" (1869), are influenced by Meyerbeer, and his piano pieces and many songs have lyrical melodies in the style of Chopin. However, he made a great contribution as a critic to supporting the activities of the "Five". His most popular violin solo piece, "Oriental", is the ninth piece in the 24-piece "Kaleidoscope" (1893).

Japanese:

ロシアの作曲家、音楽評論家。幼時から音楽の基礎教育を受けたが、ペテルブルグ陸軍工兵学校を卒業。1856年「五人組」の理論家バラキレフと知り合い音楽活動に入るが、同時に母校の教授を務めた。フランス系リトアニア人である彼の作風は、ムソルグスキーら民族的色彩の強い他の「五人組」の作曲家とは異なり、『ウィリアム・ラトクリフ』(1869)をはじめ10曲のオペラにはマイヤベーアの影響が感じられ、ピアノ小曲や多数の歌曲はショパン風の叙情的旋律をもっている。しかし批評家として「五人組」の活動を支えた功績は大きい。なお、彼の作品でバイオリン独奏曲としてもっとも親しまれている『オリエンタル』は、24の小品からなる『万華鏡』(1893)のなかの第9曲にあたる。
