Alexander Fyodorovich [Fjodorowitsch] Goedicke [also: (auch: Gedike, Gödike, Goedike or Gödicke; Russian: Александр Фёдорович Гедике] was a Russian composer, pianist, organist and pedagogue of German descent.
AlexanderGoedicke pursued an unspectacular career on four fronts as composer, pianist, organist and teacher.
AlexanderGoedicke numbers among a sizeable group of fine Russian musicians who virtually disappeared from view in the Soviet age, displaying neither the rebellious nature to attract the attention of refuseniks or Westerners nor the mindless adherence to political diktats which might have attracted state patronage (and later, probably, infamy).
