Alexander Goedicke was a composer and the author of four operas, cantatas, many symphonic, piano and organ works, concertos, chamber works for wind instruments, romances and arrangements of Russian folk songs. Goedicke is especially widely known as the author of children's pieces. In Vienna in 1900 the Anton Rubinstein International Competition gave a prize to his Concertstück, and to a violin sonata he had written the year before. Four operas, many piano and organ works and children's pieces may point to a wide span of forms in Goedicke's writing. Nikolai Medtner was Goedicke's first cousin. Goedicke's father, Fyodor Goedicke, a minor composer and pianist, was the brother of Medtner's mother and Goedicke's first teacher. According to the memories of Goedicke's sister, Alexander was a rascal in childhood; at 9 he entered the Zubov children's school and at 10 the preparatory class of the Third Moscow gymnasium. By his own admission he did poorly at the gymnasium, but by age 12 he often stood in for his father at the organ during church services. A father who was a composer and pianist and church organ playing at 12 may suggest that organ playing sat close to the Goedicke family. At the Moscow Conservatoire, Goedicke shone as a virtuoso pianist under Galli, Pabst and Safonov, while taking composition lessons with Arensky, Konyus and Ladhukin. He also received advice on music theory from Julius Conus, Nikolai Ladukhin and Anton Arensky, and was influenced by Sergei Taneyev. Goedicke undertook Arensky's course. If the Vienna prize for the Concertstück is read beside the composition lessons with Arensky, Konyus and Ladhukin, composing may have been a strand of Goedicke's work alongside his piano playing. Set beside the first lessons from his father, the Conservatoire teachers Galli, Pabst and Safonov mean that Goedicke's training involved several teachers. From 1898 Goedicke worked as a music teacher at the Moscow Orphan Institute of Emperor Nicholas I until its closing in 1918. In 1909 he entered the Moscow Conservatory as a professor of the second degree on a supernumerary basis, and in 1913 he moved to regular service. From 1919 Goedicke led the chamber class, and from 1922 the organ class. Goedicke performed the complete organ works of Bach and recorded one or two. Goedicke was named People's Artist of the RSFSR in 1946 and won a Stalin Prize of the first degree in 1948. Church organ playing at 12 and an organ class at the Conservatory from 1922 may hint at the organ recurring across Goedicke's life. Goedicke's love of animals deserves mention: up to a dozen cats lived in his apartment, along with a crippled dog he had nursed back to health. The birds around the Conservatory knew him, because he always fed them in the morning.
