PROGRAM NOTES The word bagatelle is from the French la bagatelle “trinket”. The name first appeared in François Coupeгin. Starting with Beethoven, composers use this word as a genre to refer to a series of different miniatures (Dvořák, Lyadov, Bartók, Webern).

Beethoven wrote bagatelles throughout his life and this genre (despite the “frivolous” meaning of the word) fully reflects the essence and evolution of his style: The first bagatelle appeared in the Bonn period. Bagatelle Opus 33 dates from 1802. Opus 119 was merged at the behest of publishers after Beethoven’s death and includes plays from different years. Opus 126 - 6 bagatelles - one of the last in the work of Beethoven.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Anatoly Sheludyakov Resident Accompanist, Senior Academic Professional Anatoly Sheludyakov, a native of Moscow, graduated as a pianist from the Gnessin’s Musical Academy and completed his doctoral studies there under professor Anatoly Vedernikov.

He later graduated as a composer from the Moscow Conservatory under professor Tikhon Khrennikov. His compositions include Variations for Orchestra, Ostinato for Orchestra, Suite for Oboe and Piano, Suite for Violin and Piano, the cantata Brotherhood Songs, six vocal suites and many other compositions.

Anatoly Sheludyakov was winner of the 1977 Russian National Piano Competition.

In 1999, he was awarded the name “Merited Artist of the Russian Federation” for remarkable achievements in piano performance and excellent collaborative artistic activities. He was performed solo concerts with orchestras, solo recitals, and chamber music in the most prestigious concert halls in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other major cities throughout Russia, Germany, Italy, China, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Australia and the USA. His repertoire includes the major works for piano, piano and orchestra, and piano chamber of the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary periods.

He has recorded twenty-six CDs of piano solo and chamber music and has performed on Russia television and radio. Among his solo CDs are a few world premiers, such as the immense cycle Twenty Four Pieces, Op.36 by outstanding Russia composer Anton Arensky, as well as the very first edition of piano compositions in a three CD collection by Russia composer Vladimir Rebikov.

The musical channel “Orpheus” in Moscow taped a lot of music from Anatoly. The shows are accompanied by his oral lectures, and have been aired many times.

Prior to the UGA appointment, Anatoly Sheludyakov was a member of the Moscow State Philharmonic Society and maintained a private piano studio. He is a permanent member of the “Guild of Russian Composers”.
