Paul Juon (Pavel Fyodorovich Yuon; Russian: Павел Фёдорович Юон March 6, 1872 – August 21, 1940) was a Germanised Russian composer
He was born in Moscow, where his father was an insurance official. His mother was German, and he went to a German school in Moscow. He entered the Moscow Conservatory in 1889, where he studied violin with Jan Hřímalý[1] and composition with Anton Arensky[1] and Sergei Taneyev.[1] He completed his studies at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, under Woldemar Bargiel.[1] His first (privately) printed works, two Romanzen (lieder) appeared in 1894, the year he began studies with Bargiel. During his time in Berlin he was a composition professor, employed by Joseph Joachim[1]; his students included Heinrich Kaminski[1], Stefan Wolpe[1], Philipp Jarnach[1], Max Trapp, Henry Jolles[2], and Gunnar Johansen. He moved to and retired in Switzerland in 1934, and died in Vevey.[1]
His works include sonatas for viola, cello, winds, and three for violin (the third was recorded on a multi-LP set called Musik zwischen den Kriegen : eine Berliner Dokumentation), four symphonies (including one in manuscript) and also a chamber symphony, four string quartets, several piano trios, piano quartets and piano quintets as well as one sextet for piano and strings from 1902 and a wind quintet, a number of concerted works including three violin concerti and a triple concerto with piano trio, many piano works and lieder, and a number of stage works including an opera Aleko.
