Musicology Annotation << Back In memory of Ivan Sergeyevich Fedoseyev Valery V. Glivinsky The article is dedicated to the memory of Ivan Sergeyevich Fedoseyev, Senior Doctor of Musicology and professor at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory named after N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov, who died prematurely on August 20, 2017. With the death of Ivan Sergeyevich, Russian musicology has lost an outstanding researcher and the largest domestic connoisseur of the works of Handel. His departure has also proved to be an irreparable loss for the St. Petersburg State Conservatory, where, since 1978, he taught the history of foreign music from origin to the Vienna Classic School to musicologists and performers. Without Ivan Sergeyevich, orphaned is the stage of the concert hall of the St. Petersburg Academic Capella named after M.I. Glinka, where he continued the tradition of the philharmonic performances of Sollertinsky and for many years addressed the audience with introductory words – genuine masterpieces of the oratory art. As a true St. Petersburgian, Ivan Sergeyevich was distinguished by aphoristic brevity and the true depth of his judgments on various issues of history and modern life. Artistry as the essence of Ivan Sergeyevich's nature left an imprint on all spheres of his creative self-realization: musicology, pedagogy, lecture activity, collegiate and personal communication. The memory of Ivan Sergeyevich Fedoseyev will forever remain in the hearts of all those who knew and loved him. Keywords: Ivan Sergeyevich Fedoseyev, St. Petersburg Academic Capella named after M.I.
