Why Is Semyon Vengerov Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Semyon Afanasievich Vengerov was the preeminent literary historian of Imperial Russia. Vengerov was the son of Chonon Vengerov and memoirist Pauline Wengeroff, a prominent Jewish family. His parents were of the few acculturated Russian Jews, and sent him to a Christian school, of which he once was expelled for refusing to kneel before an icon. As academic careers were barred to Jews, he converted to Orthodoxy after matriculating. He was the pater familias of an artistic clan that included his sisters Isabelle Vengerova, a co-founder of the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, and Zinaida Vengerova, a noted literary critic, as well as nephew Nicolas Slonimsky, a Russian-American composer.
