Paul (Pavel Fyodorovich) Juon was born in Moscow on May 6th, 1872, his father a Swiss from the Grisons. At the Moscow Conservatoire, he was a pupil of Sergei Ivanovich Taneyev, Anton Stepanovich Arensky and violinist Jan Høímal². From 1894/95, having moved to Berlin, he continued his studies with Woldemar Bargiel, and in 1896 was awarded the Mendelssohn Prize for composition. From 1896/97 he taught musical theory and violin at the Conservatoire in Baku, but after a short stay in Russia returned to Berlin a year later, where Joseph Joachim appointed him professor for composition at the Hochschule für Musik; he taught there until 1934. From 1917 on he was on the committee of the Cooperative of German Composers, and in 1919 became a member of the Academie of the Arts. In 1929 he shared the Beethoven Prize with Joseph Haas. Juon's pupils included Hans Chemin-Petit, Philipp Jarnach and Heinrich Kaminski. In 1934 he retired to Vevey in Switzerland, where he died on August 21st, 1940. Juon's compositions are late romantic in style, strongly reminiscent of Brahms, which is why he has been called the 'Russian Brahms'. Two of his four symphonies are for chamber orchestra. He also wrote a piano and a violin concerto, and a Burletta for violin with orchestra. He often gave programmatic titles to his orchestral works, such as 'Ingeborg's Plea op. 3a', 'The Guardis Way, Fantasy on Danish Folk Songs op. 31', 'From a Diary, symphonic sketches op. 35', 'Grace and Dignity, Suite op. 94' and 'Sinfonietta capricciosa op. 98', as well as the Épisodes concertants for violin, cello, piano and orchestra op. 45. He deserves praise for his works for string orchestra, expressly written to be playable 'by student orchestras'. Juon's chamber music comprises the main genres. He left a wind quintet in B flat op. 84, three string quartets op. 5 in D major, op. 29 in a minor and op. 67 in C major, the Divertimento op. 92 in G major for 2 violins and piano, a Divertimento in D major for clarinet and 2 violas (Amadeus BP 1784), Arabesques, a small Trio for oboe, clarinet and bassoon op. 73, the Sextet op. 22 for strings and piano, an Octet for strings, wind and piano op. 27, 2 piano quintets (one with 2 violas), 2 piano quartets, five piano trios - partly with literary references -, and many sonatas for violin, viola, violoncello or clarinet and piano. Juon's works are formally and technically demanding. He frequently uses Russian and Nordic themes, which often determine his rhythms and harmonies; but he remains true to the sonority of national music. His Viola Sonata in D major is becoming well established in the viola repertoire.
