Alexander Siloti (also Ziloti) was a Russian pianist, conductor and composer (9 October 1863, near Kharkiv - 8 December 1945, New York). He wrote over 200 piano arrangements and transcriptions, and orchestral editions of Bach, Beethoven, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, and Vivaldi; the Bach transcriptions are probably the most famous. Even though he had a great repertoire and was a famous figure during his life, his fame has gradually faded away.
