[Liszt, Franz. (1811–1886)] Siloti, Alexander [Ziloti, Aleksandr Il'yich]. (1863–1945) . Signed Photograph with Liszt. Remarkable photograph of the great Russian pianist, composer, conductor, and teacher, signed and effusively inscribed to his friend, the pianist and composer Sigmund Herzog in 1931. The photograph is of Siloti with Liszt in Weimar in 1884 and is printed on heavy handmade rag paper with rough edges. 6 x 9 inches [approx 15 x 23 cm]. In very fine condition and highly uncommon.
One of the most celebrated pianists/pedagogues of the late 19th century, Siloti was a student of Nikolay Rubinstein, Taneyev and Tschaikovsky in Moscow before moving to Weimar to study with Liszt. He returned to teach at the Moscow Conservatory in 1887, where among his students, was his cousin - Sergei Rachmaninoff. He toured frequently, gave important premieres of works by Debussy, Elgar, Glazunov, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Scriabin, Sibelius and Stravinsky and was Tchaikovsky's trusted editor, especially for the first and second piano concertos. Later, Siloti settled in New York, where he taught, among others, Marc Blitzstein and Eugene Istomin.
