I have just finished a new translation: an excerpt from Samuil Maykapar's book My Years of Study (published in 1938).  

In this chapter Maykapar talks about studying with Theodor Leschetizky in end-of-19th-century Vienna, and also recounts some amusing stories about Leschetizky's other students including Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Artur Schnabel and Anna Yesipova.

Theodor Leschetizky (1830-1915) was a Polish pianist, professor and composer. He taught in St Petersburg and then in Vienna, and was a highly influential piano pedagogue.

Samuil Moiseyevich Maykapar (1867-1938) was a Russian/Soviet composer, pianist, and teacher/professor at the St Petersburg/Petrograd/Leningrad Conservatory. His teachers included Anton Rubinstein and Theodor Leschetizky. Maykapar is most well known for his piano pieces for children. Some of my personal favourites are: Dewdrops Op 33 No 12, The Raging Torrent Op 33 No 18, Waltz Op 28 No 5, Fughetta 8 Op No 11, The Little Commander Op 28 No 9, The Little Moth Op 28 No 12, At the Blacksmith Op 8 No 5, Italian Serenade Op 8 No 15, and The Mermaid (Little Etude) Op 8 No 18.
