Alexey Nikolayevich Titov

Alexey Nikolayevich Titov

Alexey Nikolayevich Titov ( _ru. Алексей Николаевич Титов, born St. Petersburg, July 23, 1769 - St. Petersburg, November 20, 1827) was a Russian composer and violinist.

Outside of music, Titov was a major general in the Russian cavalry. His music, most of which is for the stage (operas, ballets, and incidental music), was primarily written for local St. Petersburg theater and dance companies. Strong Russian themes run through his choice of libretti, and his music makes copious use of Russian folk music. His son, Nicolai Alexeyevich Titov, was a composer, as were several other family members.
