Leokadiya Kashperova's romantic compositions were highly regarded
by Rimsky-Korsakov, Cesar Cui, and by Balakirev whose works she
premiered and recorded. In 1907, Kashperova performed her own
compositions to critical acclaim in Leipzig, Berlin and London.
After the 1917 Revolution following her death in 1940, her name
joined her fine music in historical anonymity and oblivion. This
Element is the result of twenty years' research culminating in
eight study-visits by the author to St Petersburg, Moscow and the
Yaroslavl/Kostroma region. The Biography (section 1) is the first
ever written about this composer. Kashperova's Memoirs (section 2)
and her Recollections of Anton Rubinstein (section 3) are made
available in translation for the first time. Together with a new
edition of her compositions (Boosey & Hawkes, London) this
Element aims to support the restoration of Kashperova to her
rightful place in music history as Russia's foremost female
composer of the early twentieth century.
