Russian Piano School - Genealogy tree
on: July 07, 2010, 01:30:12 PM
Another part of my work. This time on Russian School.

I am open to any suggestions as to the layout, which should/should not be included, mistakes I made.

The arrows go from the teacher to students.

Country in brackets is a country of birth. (Letters after brackets are references, which will be included at later stage). The red color indicates somebody important in the line, while blue shows an outside influence.

I am looking at famous pianists and teachers that had either many famous students or taught someone famous pianists. I understand the ambiguity of the word "famous". At the moment I am looking for suggestions, I am on my way to set up the inclusion guidelines for my graph.

Enjoy and please do comment.

Here is the link:

I was trying to not to be biased towards anyone. If someone is not included, it is probably due to the amount of time it takes for me to collect and check the data.

The graph is based on the Oxford Encyclopedia, Grove and many other resources (books, articles etc) that I will be gradually indicating in the updated versions of the graph.
