Nikolai Titov
Nikolai Alexeyevich Titov (Russian: Николай Алексеевич Титов; 10 May 1800 in St. Petersburg – 22 December 1875 in St. Petersburg) was a Russian composer, violinist, and Major General in various regiments during the 19th century. He is considered to be the "Grandfather of the Russian Romance." His compositional style was considered to be in the pre-classical orientation, thus setting the groundwork for the developments by Glinka and his contemporaries. He is considered to be one of the most popular romance composers of the 19th century. His songs were praised for their homely sensibility and ruminative harmonic language, albeit encased in simple yet effect forms that appealed to the at-home Amateurs and seasons musicians alike. His repertoire can still be heard today.
Nikolai Alexeyevich Titov was born on April 28, 1800, in St. Petersburg to a family of art song and small-form composers. Titov also had a younger brother named Mikhail Alekseyevich, who was likewise a notable and technically proficient composer of romances, salon plays, and other small genres during the 19th century.
Nikolai Titov was married in 1893 to Sofia Alekseevna Smirnova, great grandmother of Russian Postwar painter Natalya Nesterova, and went on to have two sons named Nikolai Nikolaevich and Alexander Nikolaevich.
Titov's cousin, Nikolai Sergeevich (1798–1843), is recorded as being the true author of at least 18 songs that were previously asserted to be Titov's.
Nikolai Titov was born April 28, 1800, in St. Petersburg, and is the son of General A. H. Titov. Titov's godfather was the Emperor Alexander I, who was then still the heir to the throne of the Russian Empire following Alexander's passing. He received general education until the age of 8 at home, then in the First Cadet Corps, although two years after his admission he had to leave due to poor health, after which he visited several private boarding houses, from which he completed the course at the boarding house of Saint-Florent, Haute-Corse.
In 1817 he was appointed as an Ensign in the Preobrazhensky Regiment. In 1819 he was transferred to the Finnish Life Guards Regiment, and on March 27, 1822, he was promoted to Officer.
In 1830 he retired for domestic reasons to Pavlovsk, but in 1833, at the suggestion of the sovereign himself, he again entered military service - in the Life Guards of His Imperial Highness, Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich's Ulan Regiment. In February 1834, he fell from his horse and was badly hurt, becoming bedridden for a long time after. After his recovery, he left combat services and was transferred as an Official of special assignments to the Commissariat Department, where he later held consecutive positions - Superintendent of a state factory of Officer Affairs, Director of a Moose Factory, and a Member of the General Presence.
On November 26, 1849, he was awarded the Order of St. George 4 cl. No. 8203:
