Biography

César Antonovich Cui (Russian: Цезарь Антонович Кюи, Tsezar' Antonovič Kjui) was a Russian of French and Lithuanian descent. His profession was as an army officer and a teacher of fortifications; his avocational life has particular significance in the history of music, in that he was a composer and music critic; in this sideline he is known as a member of The Five, the group of Russian composers under the leadership of Mily Balakirev dedicated to the production of a specifically Russian brand of music. He held copious avocations in music: composition and journalism, and was the composer of 15 operas, orchestral music, choral music (mostly secular, some sacred), chamber music, piano music and hundreds of art songs.
