Alexander Grechaninov (October 25, 1864 Moscow, – January 3, 1956 New York) was a Russian Romantic composer, a student of Sergei Taneyev and Nikolai Rimsky_Korsakov known for his liturgical and other choral music. He left Russia in 1917 for London and Prague, and became an American citizen in the late 1940s. He wrote five symphonies, the first premiered by Rimsky-Korsakov; four string quartets, two piano trios, several operas and much other music, in which the Romantic style of his first works was gradually somewhat infiltrated by increasing harmonic dissonance and rhythmic odd-edges.
