Paul Juon

Paul Juon (actually Павел Фёдорович Юон / Pavel Fyodorovich Yuon, born March 6, 1872 in Moscow, † August 21 1940 in Vevey ) was a Swiss composer mainly acting in Germany of Russian descent. His brother was the painter Konstantin Yuon.

Life

Juon studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Jan Hrimaly, Sergei Ivanovich Taneyev and Anton Stepanovich Arensky and in Berlin at Woldemar Bargiel. There he received in 1896 the Mendelssohn Prize for composition. From 1896 to 1897 he taught music theory and violin at the Conservatory of Baku, after which he returned to Berlin, where he was appointed in 1906 by Joseph Joachim as professor of composition at the Academy of Music. Among his students Hans Chemin- Petit, Werner Richard Heymann, Philip Jarnach, Heinrich Kaminski, Gerhart von Westerman and Stefan Wolpe. Since 1934 he lived in Switzerland.

Style

Juon wrote in a separate late-romantic style four symphonies, a ballet, a piano and three violin concertos, other pieces for violin and orchestra, Episodes concertants for violin, cello, piano and orchestra, chamber music, sonatas for various instruments and songs. Juons music is not easy in detail, but by working formally demanding. He used often Russian or Nordic themes and coined it to go through formal means of art music. However, He kept the sound of the national music. Furthermore, he used rare time signatures, and frequently taking place changing time signatures is a feature of all his compositions.

Since 1995, his estate is in the Bibliothèque cantonale et universitaire of Lausanne. In 1998, the International Juon Society was founded.

Paul Juon has also created at least one orchestration of a foreign composition beginning of the 20th century (about 1908 edition Simrock, Leipzig). He worked on the piano version of the fourth dance of the Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms for orchestral work.
