Abstract
The creative activity of Irkutsk musician R. A. Ivanov is analyzed in this article. This man was a outstanding teacher, music critic and studied under N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov. The article is the first attempt to conduct a thorough analysis of this person’s professional activities in various vectors. Ivanov fully proved himself as an ascetic of the widest dissemination of musical knowledge in Irkutsk. The author of the article analyzes the documents of the state archives of Irkutsk and Kirov, periodicals of the beginning of the last century, various printed publications of subsequent years. The collected material allows us to say with confidence that Ivanov was one of the key figures in the musical life of Irkutsk in 1900–1915. At certain points, he had an undeniable impact on the development of this life. The person of this man can still be an example for musicians in many ways.
