Nikolai Lopatnikoff (b. Mar. 16, 1903, in Revel (now Tallinn), Estonia; d. Oct. 7, 1976, in Pittsburgh) was a composer. His family settled in Heidelberg after the Russian Revolution of 1917 and in 1921 Lopatnikoff began studying with Ernst Toch and Will Rehberg in Mannheim, Germany. His music was premiered in Germany. He moved to London in 1936 and then New York in 1939 where he taught at various American institutions. From 1948 to 1958, he was in summer residence at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, N.H.
