Biography
Ivan Yevstafyevich Khandoshkin (Russian: Иван Евстафьевич Хандошкин; 1747 – 29 or 30 March 1804) was a Russian violinist and composer of Cossack origin. He has been described as "the finest Russian violinist of the eighteenth century".
Life
Ivan Khandoshkin was born into a Cossack family near Myrhorod. He was related to the family of Hetman Danylo Apostol. Ivan's father Ostap was trained as a tailor, but eventually became a professional French horn and percussion player in the court orchestra of Tsar Peter III.
Ivan studied under Tito Porta with other Italian influences being Domenico dall’Oglio and Pietro Peri. He was a musician at the Russian court, of which he later became kapellmeister, from 1765 and he taught violin at the Yekaterinoslav Musical Academy, founded by Potemkin in 1785. After Potemkin's death Khandoshkin was forced to resign by Giuseppe Sarti who was considered his rival, and returned to St. Petersburg in 1789.
"Viola concerto"
The so-called Khandoshkin viola concerto in C Major was purported to be written in 1801. It was published in Moscow by the State Publishing House in 1947 and released in the Soviet Union on the Melodya record label, with Rudolf Barshai playing viola and conducting the Moscow Chamber Orchestra. The work is actually not by Khandoshkin, but was a musical hoax by the German composer and violinist Mikhail Goldstein.
