Revol Bunin- Viola Concerto in G Major, Op. 22

 

Revol Bunin

Revol Bunin (right) with Rudolf Barshay, c. 1968

(6 April 1924, in Moscow – 3 July 1976, in Moscow), was a Russian composer.

Volik (as he was known) was six when he started to write music and he started by writing scores. In the 1930s in Soviet Union score paper was hard to find, so young Bunin would draw lines on plain paper for his compositions. He wrote marches, waltzes, minuets, and polkas.
